Currently, Rust's standard library will yield an error if one tries to
write invalid UTF-8 to a Windows console. This is problematic for
ripgrep when it tries to print matched lines that contain invalid UTF-8.
We work around this by modifying the `termcolor` library to lossily
decode UTF-8 before sending it to `std::io::Stdout`. This may result in
some Unicode replacement chars being shown in the output, but this is
strictly better than erroring or not showing anything at all.
Fixes#318.
In Emacs, its terminal apparently doesn't support "extended" sets of
foreground/background colors. Unless we need to set an "intense" color,
we should instead use one of the eight basic color codes.
Also, remove the "intense" setting from the default set of colors. It
doesn't do much anyway and enables the default color settings to work
in Emacs out of the box.
Fixes#182 (again)
Previously, ripgrep would only emit the 'bold' ANSI escape sequence if
no foreground or background color was set. Instead, it would convert colors
to their "intense" versions if bold was set. The intent was to do the same
thing on Windows and Unix. However, this had a few negative side effects:
1. Omitting the 'bold' ANSI escape when 'bold' was set is surprising.
2. Intense colors can look quite bad and be hard to read.
To fix this, we introduce a new setting called 'intense' in the --colors
flag, and thread that down through to the public API of the `termcolor`
crate. The 'intense' setting has environment specific behavior:
1. In ANSI mode, it will convert the selected color to its "intense"
variant.
2. In the Windows console, it will make the text "intense."
There is no longer any "smart" handling of the 'bold' style. The 'bold'
ANSI escape is always emitted when it is selected. In the Windows
console, the 'bold' setting now has no effect. Note that this is a
breaking change.
Fixes#266, #293
This commit completely guts all of the color handling code and replaces
most of it with two new crates: wincolor and termcolor. wincolor
provides a simple API to coloring using the Windows console and
termcolor provides a platform independent coloring API tuned for
multithreaded command line programs. This required a lot more
flexibility than what the `term` crate provided, so it was dropped.
We instead switch to writing ANSI escape sequences directly and ignore
the TERMINFO database.
In addition to fixing several bugs, this commit also permits end users
to customize colors to a certain extent. For example, this command will
set the match color to magenta and the line number background to yellow:
rg --colors 'match:fg:magenta' --colors 'line:bg:yellow' foo
For tty handling, we've adopted a hack from `git` to do tty detection in
MSYS/mintty terminals. As a result, ripgrep should get both color
detection and piping correct on Windows regardless of which terminal you
use.
Finally, switch to line buffering. Performance doesn't seem to be
impacted and it's an otherwise more user friendly option.
