The log given by the failure.

No error, but terminal output has no colouring.

Desired functionality.

Output has lovely colours on 1.2.6, how I long to see them again.

Mention any other details that might be useful.

Probably not the most important bug you'll see, but a bit of a shame.

Does this still happen in 1.3.0 final?

[davewragg]

Hi @filipesilva, I'm afraid so.

[filipesilva]

I'm on windows and don't get this with the terminal I use (conemu/gitbash). What terminal do you use?

[davewragg]

I'm on Git Bash (via Git Extensions/Git for Windows), just running from direct from start menu. I don't have conEmu on this machine. Just went and double checked - reverting to 1.2.6 (for example) produces coloured output, but from 1.3.0 (including rcs) the output is colourless. Can supply screenshots if useful?

[filipesilva]

You see something like this, right? I just tried on gitbash without anything else and this is what I got.

[davewragg]

Yep, exactly that. On 1.2.6 the webpack output had a bit of green and white in there.

[filipesilva]

Got it, will investigate.
