colorization not working properly in v99.9.99
incomingstick opened this issue · comments
Some time in the last update or two the way colors are displayed must have changed that does not seem to format correctly.
I can test two versions of lolcat side by side, and have included a screenshot to show an example. Unfortunately I have 0 Ruby experience, otherwise I would try and solve the issue right away. I will be looking to do some research on building gems when I have time, but wanted this documented in the meantime, as it may be some time before I can do that. In the image below, the terminal on the left is my local Arch Linux machine, and the terminal on the right is an ssh session to a remote Ubuntu 19.04 Hyper-V Virtual Machine. The exact command run in both terminals is: neofetch && fortune | cowsay | lolcat && lolcat -v
System info and lolcat versions are in the screenshot, but I have included the details here for your convenience:
Local OS: Arch Linux x86_64
Kernel Version: 5.2.8
Lolcat Version: v99.9.99
Remote OS: Ubuntu 19.04 x86_64
Kernel Version: 5.0.0
Lolcat version: v42.0.99
This is rather odd, the same command works fine for me on OSX.
Does it work for you when you leave out the neofetch and just do
fortune | cowsay | lolcat && lolcat -v?
Also what happens when you run v99.9.99 on the Ubuntu host?
(I suspect there might be a problem with the Arch version 🤔)
I thought it very odd as well. When running it with out neofetch, the behavior is still the same. I did just upgrade the remote version to v99.9.99 and it does still seem to display correctly. Here is a screenshot with the updates:
I think you are correct that perhaps it is an issue with my Arch version, but I cannot think of what else may have changed that could cause this 🤔 feel free to close this I guess, and I will just continue diggin into my arch system🤷♂️
I wanted to follow up, as I found a reddit post from just a day or two ago that I strongly suggest a maintainer take a look at, just to stay looped in.
