#13444: Disable diagnostic coloring by default -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: hvr | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: high | Milestone: 8.2.1 Component: Compiler | Version: 8.0.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: Incorrect | Unknown/Multiple error/warning at compile-time | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by RyanGlScott): I do agree that the ability to configure the color scheme with a `GHC_COLORS` environment variable would be a cool feature. But I agree with David that I think outright disabling colors unless an environment variable is defined is going too far. Moreover, you can disable colors quite easily with `-fdiagnostics-color=never` in GHC, so I don't think this needs to be a release blocker. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/13444#comment:4 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
