New description:
Apologies if this is a known issue. I searched for references to 'Windows'
in the bug tracker and didn't find any that matched. I'm also unsure
whether Windows 8.1 support is important to Django or not.
Trying Django 3.2 on a Windows machine in VS Code, I noticed the colored
CLI output (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/ref/django-admin
/#syntax-coloring) doesn't work in the VS Code integrated terminal. This
is with Git Bash, and the built-in cmd.exe as far as I can see.
Here is the type of output I'm seeing (Git Bash in this case):
{{{
$ python manage.py makemigrations
←[36;1mMigrations for 'blog':←[0m
←[1mblog\migrations\0001_initial.py←[0m
- Create model BlogIndexPage
(.venv)
}}}
See the attached screenshot, which shows that colors support works
otherwise:
[[Image(https://code.djangoproject.com/raw-attachment/ticket/32694
/gitbash-colored-output.png)]]
For what it's worth I also tried Git Bash and the cmd.exe prompt outside
VS Code, and both seemed to work as expected (not showing any colored
output).
I also tried installing colorama, and with this installed I get the
expected colored output in the VS Code terminal. So the issue seems to be
with the detection of whether color codes should be in the output or not.
