Disabled colorlog output?

Configuration
1

Somewhere between version 0.24.1 and 0.27.2 it look like colorlog is now installed by default and not optional. Under Windows in a CMD window the log output is now difficult to read, it is not colored and simply has vt escape sequences displayed :frowning:

Is there anyway to disable the use of colorlog, e.g. via config?

Only info I’ve found so far (without digging into the code is Colored logs output where it claims it is optional.

Thinking about this, I’d like coloring to work, but would settle for disabling it :slight_smile:

color log output from pip works (under Windows, e.g. failures are in red text) so this should be possible.

Not in the configuration, only by removing the colorlog module itself.

Thanks!

I deleted the colorlog directory that was in AppData\Roaming\.homeassistant\deps (I’m on Windows) and that did the trick. :slight_smile:

I did a little more digging and https://pypi.python.org/pypi/colorlog claims colorama is needed for color support on Windows. I pip installed that with no success, I also later found colorama-0.3.7 in the deps directory so something odd is going on, it should be working. :thinking: I suspect there is something odd going on at logging stream setup time but workaround works for me :slight_smile:
