Logging multiple lines with a single call. Not possible?

[webJose]

Hello, me again.

I have a simple task that eludes me, and I don't know if the reason is this package or a limitation in cosole, or what.

I want to output using log.warn() a multi-line string. Especifically, the stack trace of an error object. I want it output in different lines, but all I can get is a single line with \n embeeded in it.

Is there a wait to output multiple lined-values from this package? If so, may I trouble you for the how?

Thank you.

@webJose this library doesn't limit in any way multi-lline output, you may confirm with log.warn(new Error().stack) (and log-node writer) that multiple lines will be outputted.

Hi again. The problem comes when a fomatter is specified:

log.warn('%s', new Error().stack);

@webJose indeed. It's actually on purpose, to meaningfully isolate arbitrary string input (it follows what Node.js does with utils.inspect). Still if not desired you can escape that behavior, see last point in documentation of formatter that log-node relies on: https://github.com/medikoo/cli-sprintf-format#cli-dedicated-sprintf-formatter

Ah, yes %#s does the trick, but loses the coloring. Any way to retain coloring?

In this case, string is treated as raw text (as if it's part of the first string argument), so eventual extra coloring, if needed should be added manually
