NOTICE: Gibberish in the server console

[derrickmehaffy]

Hello everyone

As some may have noticed, new installs of Strapi are showing a bunch of gibberish on the server log, we are aware of the issue and it's cause. I won't speak at depth about the topic as it is somewhat political but the maintainer of the colors package which is used as a dependency cli-table3 intentionally pushed an update to cause this issue for everyone who uses his package.

We are working to get a hotfix out which will pin the colors version to the last working version that you can follow here: #12157
Alternatively if you are using yarn instead of npm you can add the following to your package.json and simply reinstall your node_modules:

"resolutions": {
    "**/colors": "1.4.0"
  }

As soon as we push out a hotfix we will let everyone know.

Sorry for the Monday troubles,

• The Strapi Team

Closing as fixed in v4.0.4
