TypeScript, mocha, chalk doesn't output color to debug console?

[ghost]

In my 0.10.11 version, chalk console logging using chalk works. In the 0.10.12-insider version it doesn't.

• VSCode Version: 0.10.12-insider
• OS Version: Windows 10
• Language: TypeScript 1.8.9, Node 4.1.1, Mocha 2.3.4,
• Launch:

        {
            "name": "[WP] test",
            "type": "node",
            "request": "launch",
            "program": "${workspaceRoot}/node_modules/mocha/bin/_mocha",
            "stopOnEntry": false,
            "args": [
                "test.bundle.js",
                "--no-timeouts",
                "--max_old_space_size=2048",
                "--colors"
            ],
            "cwd": "${workspaceRoot}/bin-webpack/test",
            "runtimeExecutable": null,
            "runtimeArgs": [],
            "env": {},
            "sourceMaps": true,
            "outDir": "${workspaceRoot}/bin-webpack/test"
        },

Steps to Reproduce:

1. import chalk = require('chalk');
2. console.log(chalk.magenta('some text'));

Hi @Tyriar! I appreciate the quick response. Does that really apply if it works in 0.10.11 already but does not work in the 0.10.12-insiders version?

@bill-mybiz oh sorry, misread, didn't think it was a regression?

[ghost]

@Tyriar Yeah I think I would consider it a regression, but I'm not sure if it would be a regression in VS Code per se or if it's something that breaks chalk and possibly others. I just know that for tracing asynchronous code, the console coloring has been a Godsend as I'm able to match interspersed log entries extremely efficiently.

@bpasero I think this is the output window.
