Pm2: chalk doesn't work in pm2 logs

[FoghostCn]

I use chalk to styling my console, but with pm2 it doesn't work
my code is like this:

  console.log(chalk.green('this is a chalk color string'));

run it with node or pm2 command,in pm2 chalk doesn't take any effection

Just try:

{
  "apps": [
    {
      "[SOME]":"[CONFIGS]",
      "args": [
        "--color"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

or

$ pm2 start myapp.js -- --color

@Tjatse Thank you

Where is this "--color" option coming from? Is this a nodejs thing? Its not a pm2 option, is it?

Nope it's a chalk thing: see supports-color, a dependency of Chalk, where the dependency has-flag checks whether process.argv has --no-color.

This didn't work for me:

$ pm2 start myapp.js -- --color

This supportsColor worked:

$ FORCE_COLOR=1 pm2 start myapp.js
