Display formatting not correct when used on PowerShell
Liampor opened this issue · 6 comments
Hello,
Problem
When I use TLDR on PowerShell, the output formatting is not correct, it looks like

Environment
PowerShell version 7.2.0
TLDR is installed via conda install tldr
$ tldr -v
>>> tldr 2.0.0 (Client Specification 1.4)
$ pip install tldr
>>> Requirement already satisfied: tldr in d:\tsusersoftware\miniconda3\lib\site-packages (2.0.0)
>>> Requirement already satisfied: argcomplete in d:\tsusersoftware\miniconda3\lib\site-packages (from tldr) (1.12.3)
>>> Requirement already satisfied: termcolor in d:\tsusersoftware\miniconda3\lib\site-packages (from tldr) (1.1.0)
>>> Requirement already satisfied: colorama in d:\tsusersoftware\miniconda3\lib\site-packages (from tldr) (0.4.4)
Others
TLDR works well on git-bash with the same installation and system
How could I fix it? Thank you all
Are you able to change the following line:
Line 490 in d872269
to be:
colorama.init(strip=options.color, convert=True)and see if that fixes the problem?
Alternatively, we may need to adjust it so that we do a from sys import stdout after calling colorama.init() to get it to work on Windows. I'm not totally sure, hopefully the convert thing above works as that's easier to manage.
Thanks, but I tried to modify the init-function and delete the local cache, but same issue again. 😂

Until this is fixed, I came up with a little workaround that'll work on all consoles.
filter tldr {[String]::Join([Environment]::NewLine,( python -m tldr $Args ))}You can also pipe to Write-Output for the same effect, but I felt it best to not involve a pipeline.
Question though, does tldr --help print out formatted text on Linux, like the npm version does? Or is this just something that was done for the Python client in general?
