Colorize your go output

When dealing with stack traces (expecially panics) it takes forever to find the lines that are YOUR code.

I wrote this as a really basic colorizer that I can pipe output from test suites, etc. into.

Install

go install github.com/corylanou/go-colorize-stack

Usage

go test ./... | go-colorize-stack

This will ignore lines that come from the standard go library, but not all of them. I find passing in my package name for a specific match works better.

go test ./... | go-colorize-stack -packageName=<string to match or package name>

For example, if I'm working on a project called influxdb, I run this command:

go test ./... | go-colorize-stack -packageName=influxdb

Now only the lines from my package are inverted in the output

Here is a screenshot:

Mostly Experimental

This is currently a very experimental project, with no testing, and hardly any use yet. I plan on dog fooding this until it becomes useful to me. Feel free to open issues or create pull requests with suggestions.
