I think I know why this is, but can you provide a sample repo (reduced down as much as possible) so that I can replicate against?

[noway]

thank you for response, sorry don't have enough bandwidth for that 😥

Well, same here, but can you at least share some part of your code so that someone else has a chance of replicating what colour lib you're using?

[noway]

made a repro repo here: https://github.com/noway/debugjsnodemonbug

how it should look:

how it looks in v2:

debug.js colours stuff itself by the looks of it

Same problem here, since 2.0.1 (not in 2.0.0). The problem is with the package supportsColor. It now return false with supportsColor.stderr (but not with supportsColor.stdout).

const supportsColor = require('supports-color')
if (supportsColor.stdout) {
  console.log('Terminal stdout supports color')
} else {
  console.log('Terminal stdout DO NOT supports color')
}
if (supportsColor.stderr) {
  console.log('Terminal stderr supports color')
} else {
  console.log('Terminal stderr DO NOT supports color')
}

Perfect replication info - thank you. Will pick up, I know the change that's triggered this issue.

I've been able to get a fix for this, but I need to write a test to show it happening and show it's fixed (so it doesn't reoccur).
