On pgAdmin 4 v3.1, I right click a database, click Restore, choose a backup file and click go.

A little green popup says "Restore job created" which fades away, but no other indicator shows a restore under way. There used to be a window that stayed open indicating that a restore is under way and total time that has passed.

How to see current restore jobs / know when it has been completed?

I've tried restarting PC, reinstalling pgadmin, clicking File > reset layout, creating new db.

The docs suggest the window indicating a restore is happening should be visible. So I guess I'm facing a bug? https://www.pgadmin.org/docs/pgadmin4/dev/restore_dialog.html

Well pgAdmin 4 is definitely bug riddled, but found an answer to this.

To see current restore jobs:

  1. Set to true: File > Preferences > Dashboard > Display > Show Activity
  2. Refresh if needed, then open Dashboard > Sessions
  3. Start your restore job, then hit refresh on the sessions.

You'll see a new process listed, and can click the (play icon ?) for more details about it.

The process disappears after restore is completed.
