Jansi 2.4.0 color-coded output not working properly on CMD.EXE console (original) (raw)
On Windows, when I use logback 1.4.14 with Jansi 2.4.0 in the old CMD.EXE console, the logback fails to produce color-coded output. The same code executed in Windows Terminal works as expected.
Interestingly, substituting the current Jansi 2.4.0 with an older Jansi 1.18, seems to fix the issue. This suggests that there might be some differences in the newer versions of Jansi that Logback doesn't handle very well.
The following ZIP contains a simple example (requires Java 11+) that produces colored output using standalone Jansi 1.18 and 2.4.0, and Logback with Jansi 1.18 and 2.4.0. To execute: extract and run jansi-examples.bat
Here's the output produced on the same machine in CMD.EXE console:
and in Windows Terminal:
