Support colors on Windows 10

[andrewsav-bt]

I'm confused with the state of this issue. There are a couple of closed issue here and here.

They discuss resolving the issue then reversing the change, and then fixing it again?

Anyway it does not seem to be working for me:

Program:

package main
import (
	log "github.com/sirupsen/logrus"
)
func main() {
	log.SetFormatter(&log.TextFormatter{})
	log.Errorf("Hello World!")
}

run with:

go run main.go

result:

�[31mERRO�[0m[0000] Hello World!

What is the current status of this?

Hello @andrewsav-datacom , we do have a pending pr #741 for this issue, but I have no way to test if it works as intended. Can you checj after I've merged that it works as intended ?

@dgsb I can try but it also can take a little while. Thanks.

[dgsb]

@andrewsav-datacom the pr has been merged on master, you can check if it works appropriatly for you. If it does you can then close this issue. Thanks.

@dgsb for the test case above the changes has worked on windows 10. I'll try to test on windows 7 as well and will let you know.

[AndrewSav]

@dgsb It does not work on Windows 7 though. Sorry. Let me know if you would like me to open an issue for that.

I also get control sequences rendered to the console when using PowerShell on Windows Server 2012.

I get the same issue when using cmd.exe too.

@a-h I have a suspicion that if you want this fixed you will be better off opening a new issue, or commenting on an issue that is not closed...

[dgsb]

indeed, please open new issues otherwise it gets very hard to track
