CLI: "console.*" functionality does not work as expected

[jasonkneen]

Console is supposed to support .group capabilties according to the documentation but this doesn't work in practice.

console.group("URL Details");
console.log("Scheme: HTTPS");
console.log("Host: example.com");
console.groupEnd();

Should render the two items in a group (indented)

Can this functionality be implemented or the docs updated to remove it?

It actually is implemented at the console level here: https://github.com/appcelerator/titanium_mobile/blob/master/common/Resources/ti.internal/extensions/js/console.js#L74-L83

The issue is in the CLI hooks that print the logs to the terminal/shell - they do some trimming of the output:

• iOS: https://github.com/appcelerator/titanium_mobile/blob/master/iphone/cli/hooks/run.js#L63-L80
