Console output disappears on PowerShell + ConEmu

[resir014]

- Do you want to request a feature or report a bug?

Bug.

- What is the current behavior?

I'm on Windows and I use ConEmu as my console emulator. Whenever I run netlify through ConEmu on PowerShell, the colours break to the point where no text is visible on the console unless I select a block of text. It also persists after the command is finished, even after running cls.

- If the current behavior is a bug, please provide the steps to reproduce.

• Install ConEmu.
• Run a PowerShell console through ConEmu.
• Run netlify.
• Text disappears.

- What is the expected behavior?

Normal behaviour when running through a regular cmd/powershell window:

- Please mention your node.js, and operating system version.

• Node 8.9.0
• Windows 10 (x64) Build 16299

Looks OK in my ConEmu/PowerShell:

so we must be using different color schemes. Here's what I have in Settings > Features > Colors:

Also, one of the cool things about ConEmu is that it live updates the console window when you change the colors, so you can have the window open with the netlify-cli text, then scroll through the different color schemes (or change colors individually) until you see the text.

@verythorough Hmm, this is weird, tried cycling through the color schemes, nothing else worked except PowerShell (but only briefly):

But when I switch to it, it broke again.

I was using the Ubuntu color scheme, with no additional configuration.

Hm, that is so strange!

I'm curious—have you tried the Go-based cli tool, netlifyctl? I wonder if it has the same issue. We'll be focusing future development efforts on that client, so I recommend giving it a try. (It just recently reached feature equivalence with netlify-cli, so we're in the process of updating the docs to match, but all commands described in the docs are available in netlifyctl in the same way they're available in netlify-cli.)

@verythorough Hey, sorry for taking too long to get back to you!

And yeah, using netlifyctl fixed the colours. Thanks!
