Colors not displaying with prefix enabled

[ljwagerfield]

I've noticed colors are only displayed by my webpack child process when using the --raw flag.

However, the --raw flag seems to disable prefixes.

Is it possible to have the child processes output their color and keep the prefixes I've assigned to them?

(Would love to have my cake and eat it! :D)

This isn't so easy because to preserve original colors output by webpack, we need to directly pipe webpack stdout without modifying it in between.

I'm open to a separate --no-colors flag if someone figures out how to preserve the original colors and modify the output. Last time when I investigated this, I couldn't find a reliable way for it.

Meanwhile you can try to find if webpack has a --color flag which forces it to use colors in output and remove the --raw attribute. See: https://github.com/kimmobrunfeldt/concurrently/issues/8#issuecomment-184901271

If child process uses chalk, just set FORCE_COLOR=1 (using cross-env for example).
Also you can set NPM_CONFIG_COLOR=always.
Concurrently could set those variables automatically. Adding a flag --force-colors would be nice.

Hey guys, check #86 for some context on how this was fixed.
