command line output - colors on windows

[shivakumargn]

The escape sequences are output as is on windows:

D:> go run hello.go
2013/05/27 06:03:19 web.go serving 0.0.0.0:9999
2013/05/27 06:03:21 ?[32;1mGET /?[0m
2013/05/27 06:03:21 ?[32;1mGET /favicon.ico?[0m
exit status 2

hint: I do not know how to get it right but did notice that "npm install" gets this right on windows console.

What are you using on Windows? Msys, cygwin, or plain cmd.exe?

Plain cmd.exe

For serious use, the logs are mostly written into a file instead of using stdout. Isn't one better off without coloring.

You can disable colored output now. Just use web.Config.ColorOutput = false
