Event Logging - Stdout formatting is stripped by the logging process
Bug Report
Description:
This issue is connected to Issue #331.
Output to stdout from makefiles is currently formatted (with colored text) for improved readability. The current process for logging makefile events (#331) strips all formatting as it tee
's all output to logfiles.
Suggested Fix:
- There are some commands to force retention of color (
grep --color=always
, passing throughscript
, probably many others I haven't explored) but most of these will write extra text to the logs as well. These could be used in conjunction with careful purification of the logs. - Change the makefile logging control flow. The current flow enables --output-sync for safe parallel log writing, but there are likely other ways to implement this in make calls without adjusting basic output.
