ANSI colour handling for prompt seems broken in 0.4.3.

[dkiestra]

Install Clink 0.4.3.
Open Command Prompt and type "set clink.prompt_colour=12".
However, prompt colour does not change.

Made sure there is no 3rd party software supporting ANSI colours.
Searched clink.log for "ANSI" string to look for LOG_INFO("Disabling ANSI support. Found '%s'", dll_name);, but none found.
Tried "set clink.ansi_code_support=1", but no luck.

[mridgers]

Strange. No problems for me. Are you certain there is not any ANSI codes already in the prompt? They would override the code's that Clink surrounds the prompt with for the "prompt_colour" setting.

@mridgers I have the same problem and when I set "ansi_code_support = 0" it display ANSI codes

[mridgers]

"ansi_code_support = 0" will pass through ANSI codes so that other utilities can process them (as Clink's support for ANSI codes is "just enough" to do colours).

• Can someone paste their log file please?
• I wonder if this is a Win8+ problem (as I use Win7)?

@mridgers I use Win 8.1 this is my log file:

I'm having the same problem too, ANSI codes are ignored.
Clink 0.4.3, Win7-64

[mridgers]

I think I've got to the bottom of this. Can someone confirm that prompt_colour works as expected using the following build?

[kosz78]

Yes, it works fine for me, thank You

[dkiestra]

Yes, this build is working for me too.

Best regards, Douwe.

Works here, thanks.

[mridgers]

Great, thanks for giving it a try everyone. I'll cut a 0.4.4 once I can compile XP-compatible executables.
