Motivation
A couple issues (#1295,#1029) raise the concern of wanting an option to disable colours in the terminal output.
Solution
Added a check when
forge
orcast
is invoked that turns off colours if the terminal is a basic windows terminal, or ifNO_COLOR
is set in env.In order to do this I swapped out the
ansi_term
dependency across the whole crate foryansi
It has some very simple built in support for the exact feature wanted: disabling colour on unsupporting windows terminals.
It also seems like
ansi-term
is not being maintained so its not a bad idea to change to a more recently updated crate.Didn't add any tests but I can confirm running:
now outputs logs with no colours.
