CLI options "--async" and "--batch-size" are not compatible.

When invoking the Salt command line client with both the --async and --batch-size options, --async is ignored. The batch is run in the foreground, and the shell waits for it to return.

Hmm, yes. I'm not sure this ever worked. (I honestly haven't tried before.) We'll have to take a look here and see what it will take to ensure that batch mode runs correctly in asynchronous mode. Thanks very much for letting us know. Sorry about the oversight here!

The fact the each new batch job gets its own jid, and current async job runs under a single jid, i am not sure if this would be a easy fix. @cachedout any idea as to how to make this work??

This still seems to be an issue in 2019.2.3

Just noticed this behaviour on 3000.2 as well. Can this be reopened?

I guess this is in the works according to #55268
