play: colour formatting turned off

Open oliver-sanders opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Minor but annoying issue which has been kicking about for a while.

When cylc play re-invokes remotely the colour formatting gets turned off for some reason.

The colour formatting can be helpful as it makes errors and warnings more prominent as well as making it easier to visually filter out debug messages when debugging.

Pull requests welcome!

Probably caused by #4562? (Which fixes a more important bug, but hopefully we can have our cake and eat it too...)

Yep. The easiest solution I can see is to set --color=always on the detached process in the situations where we would want colour.
