Flow: ANSI color codes fail in Windows MSYS Bash in cmd.exe

Created on 10 Aug 2017  路  3Comments  路  Source: facebook/flow

When using the cmd.exe host option in MSYS, flow-bin 0.52.0 on Node v8.3.0 attempts to use ANSI color codes, but fails:

Using the default terminal in cmd.exe results in uncolored text, which is correct enough I guess.

Same here with MINGW64 bash. Starting flow using the --color options seems like a workaround for now:

flow --color never
