Gerd Aschemann created MNG-6719:
-----------------------------------
Summary: mvn color output escape keys w/ "| tee xxx.log" on Win
with git/bash
Key: MNG-6719
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6719
Project: Maven
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Gerd Aschemann
When output of {{mvn}} is redirected to a pipe (e.g., {{mvn verify | tee
mvn.log}}), on Windows with git (bash), the color escape characters are written
to the file. This works without a problem on OSX. Obviously the detection if
the output is a tty does not work correctly with git / bash on Windows?
The git / bash is based on MinGW64. Probably it is not a Maven problem but a
combination of Maven / JDK / git?
Used Versions:
* git version 2.16.2.windows.1 / GNU bash, version 4.4.19(1)-release
(x86_64-pc-msys)
* Apache Maven 3.6.1 (d66c9c0b3152b2e69ee9bac180bb8fcc8e6af555;
2019-04-04T21:00:29+02:00)
* Java version: 1.8.0_191-1-redhat, vendor: Oracle Corporation
Probably it could also be a solution to add another CLI option? I currently use
the {{| tee mvn.log}} approach to have both, output and log. A CLI option
{{-L}} (as opposed to {{-l}}) could do both, output to stdout/stderr with color
escape chars and output to a file without color escapes. What do you think?
