Assignee changed from Josh Cooper to Jeff McCune

# Needs patches to 2.7.x #

I have the gem installed and built into the package, but we still need to patch 
2.7.x to take advantage of the gem.

I'm running Puppet `2.7.14rc2-11-gd0d34a7`

Here's a screenshot of what's happening:

I'm looking into the patches required to Puppet now.

Feature #13956: Colorize console output on Windows
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/13956#change-61334

Author: Josh Cooper
Status: Accepted
Priority: Normal
Assignee: Jeff McCune
Category: windows
Target version: 2.7.x
Affected Puppet version: 2.7.6
Keywords: 
Branch: 


Windows consoles do not support ANSI escape sequences, and so Puppet by default 
disables colorizing output (on Windows). However, the win32console gem 
<https://github.com/luislavena/win32console> translates these escape sequences 
into the appropriate native console calls. 

Ken has submitted fixes upstream to fix how foreground and background colors 
are preserved, which is an issue for powershell, since it's default background 
is not black. Now that Ken's fix has been merged, we should move forward with 
colorizing Windows console output by default.
