Console output under Windows

[rchastain]

Hello Vincent!

When I run Little Wing 0.6.0 in the Windows console, the output is corrupted. Please take a look to the file attached. It isn't really a problem (the program works), but it's a pity that the nice output of Little Wing is corrupted.

It is certainly possible to have color in Windows console, but not by the method you use. Maybe you could (as a temporary solution) disable color for Windows?

Regards.

Hi Roland!

Thanks for reporting the issue, I think it's unfortunately an upstream problem that has been reported here: colored-rs/colored#59

I tried a few things on my side without success. For now I'd suggest typing the command hide colors when entering the program from the command line (see help for a list of commands, and use the TAB key for autocompletion). You could also set the NO_COLOR environment variable in the shell before launching the program if that's an option on Windows. On GNU/Linux I'd do that: NO_COLOR=1 littlewing.

Hopefully it'll be fixed in the next release!

Hello Vincent! Thank you for your answer. I confirm that the trick of the environment variable works also under Windows.
See you soon!

Good! I'll keep this issue open until the bug is fixed.
