@e-cloud thanks for the issue. this would make for a great first issue.

your contributions are welcome here!

I would like to take this up, if no one is working on it.

@akshbn @samccone I'm knee deep in the tree reporter, would it make sense for me to take this up? Should be super simple and could be a small addition to #1463

[akshbn]

@olingern i managed to change the format from bold to color,ie, the content gets colored but its no more bold. still haven't dived deep enough to retain the format to bold n assign it a color. If you are able to do this, please go ahead. If not, do tell and i shall send a PR.

@akshbn Not sure when #1463 will merge, so here's an example of coloring output, if you'd still like to take a look.

It specifically uses a package, chalk, to color strings. It is bound on this.format inside of console-reporter.js.

[akshbn]

@olingern thanks man! will check it out.

I wanted to pick back up on this since #1463 was merged, and I wanted to understand the reasoning behind bolding before changing the color, since it's closely related to tree output that I worked with.

In the latest stable release, there's a condition that evaluates to remove bold, if the package's version differs from its original. but I'm unsure of what triggers this scenario.

Why display both? Why not filter to only display (below) "[email protected]" ?

pinging @kittens as it looks like this landed in this commit.

I think it does not display second level dependencies anymore, looks like got broken

If no one is working on it, I'll try to create a pull request and submit when finished.

[samccone]

👍 @ClaudiaRaquelGuedes let us know if you needed any help :)

[ClaudiaRaquelGuedes]

@samccone Hi :) I was wondering if there was a way to install older versions of dependencies so that I could test updating and seeing if the behaviour persists. Thanks in advance. 👍

[e-cloud]

I'm afraid no automatic approach. You have to change the version number manually, then update it to new number for tests.

[ClaudiaRaquelGuedes]

Hi again, I have been working on the issue but it seems a bit hard to recreate it. As said before, second level dependencies are no longer shown and the text doesn't appear with color or bold when I update the versions. Is this related to npm in some way or was the issue merged previously? Thanks in advance.

[e-cloud]

emmm, yes, the latest behavior is different to a large extent. Original request is invalid now.

But, could we implement a logic to make the target dependencies bold and colored?
Take an example, if i yarn add lodash, the lodash line in yarn output is bold and color

Hello, @ClaudiaRaquelGuedes and I have solved this issue, as you can see in this image. The text's now bolded and in cyan, as suggested. If you see no problems with the solution, we'll create a pull request.

[ClaudiaRaquelGuedes]

@samccone , @bestander , @BYK I was wondering if maybe you can review the changes? Is the issue fixed as expected? Thanks in advance.

[bestander]

@ClaudiaRaquelGuedes, we are waiting for you to send us a PR.
Very much appreciated.

Update: sorry for snark, the PR is there!
I was in my semi-automated mode answering a very regular question "when is this issue going to be fixed" and misread that you pinged us to review the PR.
My fault

[bestander]

I'll review it now :)
