coloredlogs output is only red in PyCharm

[nibu147]

Hello,
since a few weeks, coloredlogs doesn't display colors properly anymore in the PyCharm console. It did before!
If I run the same code from terminal, everything works fine.
I can see only red text for logging output. print() statements are usually displayed with white font.
Anybody else having this issue?

I have the same issue in visual studio code
I'm not conviced that it's coloredlogs fault though since when I go back to version 9.0 it still only displays in red

In Pycharm, you need to enable Emulate terminal in output console in your run configuration options.

same issue, however, if you log with ansi color, the message is displaying color correctly
sample code:

#after coloredlogs.install
logging.warning("\033[38;2;255;178;4mtest")

after this, all the logging becomes yellow, it seems like coloredlogs is not printing any effective ANSI escapes at all

UPDATE & WORKAROUND
the root cause of this problem is the sys.stderr.isatty() which is used in humanfriendly (to check if the stream is connected to a terminal) returns False in python console, which makes coloredlogs to disable ANSI escape sequences during initialization, a patch is uploaded #97 so you can use isatty=True to force enable ANSI escape sequences
