Re: [fossil-users] Colored output on console

[Michael Richter]

Just to clarify, the fsl wrapper is not my work (although I contributed to
the cookbook and one of the standard enhancements in the default .fslrc
file was put in at my behest).  I'm just a fan of DIY customization instead
of asking the core devs to add every little feature every user can think
of, and fsl is the single best approach I've seen to that for Fossil.

But, they have to install Tcl, Expect and Tcllib (cmdline).  Right?
Indeed, interactive things easier to do using Expect. But, if all about
colorizing and simple filters in Tcl ... Jim Tcl is closer

  cd fossil
  cc -o jimsh0 autosetup/jimsh0.c
  mv jimsh0 /usr/local/bin

Green Fossil example

  #! /usr/bin/env jimsh0
  set RESET {}
  set GREEN {}
  set ret [catch {exec fossil {*}$::argv} out]
  regsub -all {\} $out $GREEN\&$RESET out
  puts $out
  exit $ret

If they do not need to install additional packages, then you're more
likely to be heard. What if

  $EDITOR tools/cfossil

and implement a script for colorizing/filtering just in Jim Tcl?

I don't use fsl myself, though I have no quarrel with its existence. I
think inferring hostility in failure to mention or discuss any third party
tool on a list dedicated to the primary tool itself is a bit over the top.

Given the nature of fossil, perhaps this is an opportunity to craft a page
that could reside in in main documentation pointing people to the tool and
explaining the advantages? I can't say myself that it would be accepted,
but it seems it might have a chance. You can't expect everyone to know or
promote something they don't use.

Anything that extends Fossil's current capabilities, even if it's mostly on the
UI side, probably warrants a special mention on the Fossil website, I think. :)

"not trivial" was admittedly possibly overstated. My own view is that as
soon as code contains:

#if defined(WIN32)

the steam kinda goes out of my sails.  :/

i admit to being somewhat of a weenie in that regard.

ANSI escape codes cover _most_ cases but there are always terminals out
there which get confused by them and i always seem to stumble across such
terminals, so i am generally not a friend of colorized output.

No, quite the opposite: colorized output is a feature people keep asking
for and Michael has repeatedly offered a solution which requires no code
changes in fossil.

Stephan…I’m new here.  What do you mean by “dodged a bullet?  Is fsl something 
to be afraid of for any reason?  I don’t want to waste my time if so.  but I 
know I am going to  write my own wrapper scripts.  So I’m genuinely interesting

I just perused it a little bit and at least my first impression is that it may 
be over engineered a bit, with a lot of TCL flexibility, but therein lies the 
potential source of user error bugs in the creation of custom TCL scripts to 
make it do what you want it to do…so…  is that what you mean by dodged a bullet?

Yes, colorization is commonly-request feature, but is also not trivial to
do portably, which is probably why relatively few people are interested in
implementing it.

I know that every time I mention this I get silently, perhaps even
hostilely, ignored, but really guys, why not just use fsl for your
customization needs?  Colourizing output is in the cookbook:
http://fossil.0branch.com/fsl/wiki?name=Cookbook, along with lots of other
nifty tricks like aliasing, adding commands (like workflow-based ones I've
done for my stuff), etc.  It really is a nifty little package and I don't
get the hostility (or at least utter apathy) it generates in the Fossil
community.

I look forward to the "ignore the very existence of this message" that is
traditional each time I bring it up.

Re: [fossil-users] Colored output on console

[Steve Schow]

For now, if you’re on a unix platform, you can try a wrapper script like this:



#!/bin/bash

export COLOR_NC='^[[0m'
export COLOR_RED='^[[1;31m’

fossil $* |\
sed -e "s/ERROR/${COLOR_RED}ERROR${COLOR_NC}/g” \
sed -e “s/WARNING/${COLOR_RED}WARNING${COLOR_NC}/g”

Possibly the best ‘color-blind proof’ method is reverse video.  Not the best 
looking in all cases, but certainly effective.

I will just observe here that typically red text on a black background is 
really hard for me to see. If someone were to add such a thing, having it be 
opt in would be appreciated. Different people have different, of course. I hate 
color blindness.

how right you are. I also have trouble with red/green deficiency. See my
other post regarding "Howto change diff output colorisation". Khaki hit
against green diff output, impossible to see for my eyes, but clearly
visible for my friend. ;-)

Yes, opt-in and configurable would be the way to go.

Greets,
Marko

[fossil-users] Colored output on console

[Marko Käning]

Hi devs,

it would be great if one could colorise Fossil’s output on the console!

Quite a few times I missed an error or warning message which slipped in between 
of many lines of the usual fossil output on the console.

Red colouring of words like “warning” or “error” would be very helpful there.

The poor man’s solution would at least be to use capital letters and some sort 
of line head along the lines of

> ERROR: blaa
> WARNING: blubb

Right now I can’t send an example of such a easily slipping through message, 
but I can deliver if I come across one again.

Greets,
Marko
