How to disable coloring in an app (not SBT)

[joan38]

Hi,
Using scribe, I endup with logs like:

[36m�[1m2023.07.19 11:04:05:289�[0m�[36m�[0m �[3mio-compute-2�[0m �[34mINFO�[0m ........

any idea how I can disable the coloring?

The easiest way is:

scribe.output.format.OutputFormat.default = scribe.output.format.ASCIIOutputFormat

You can also set the environment value SCRIBE_OUTPUT_FORMAT to "ASCII". Scribe attempts to auto-detect if ANSI is supported. Can you give me more information about your set up and why ANSI isn't supported?

That's perfect thanks @darkfrog26 !

We are running a Spark job on a cluster that somehow (Netflix's platform does it) dumps the stdout and stderr into files.
I'm not sure how scribe could figure out if ANSI is or isn't supported?

On JVM I generally just look to see if the TERM environment variable is set, which it apparently is for you.
