Percy Build Wait command exiting immediately on changes.

[Kaedeko]

The problem

When using --fail-on-changes and --pass-if-approved, the documented behaviour looks like it should be polling the build until it's approved, up until the timeout value, default 10 minutes.

What I'm seeing locally and in pipeline is the command exiting immediately after a build is completed.

e.g.

npx percy build:wait --fail-on-changes --pass-if-approved -b <build-id> -t 900000 -i 10000
[percy] Build #1013 finished! <url removed>
[percy] Found 1 changes

Script then exits. Happens with all our builds. If there's an issue with how i'm using the script then it might be more of a documentation issue than anything else but it certainly feels like a bug.

Effectively, wait isn't waiting.

@Kaedeko the feature is working as expected, its currently pass-if-approved and not pass until approved - with some timeout. pass-if-approved usually means no differences or auto approved due to some other reason like carry forwarded snapshots or auto approve branch etc

You can easily add a bash loop if you want to wait till build is approved manually on dashboard.

If you need this as a feature - with a flag like --wait-for-approval with a timeout - please raise the same via support and product managers could look into it
