Description:
Hello
I found the following release notes in PG12 is not working properly at
Windows.
> •Add colorization to the output of command-line utilities
Following the release note, I've set the the environment variable PG_COLOR
to auto, then I run pg_dump command with an incorrect passwd.
However, the command-line output is not colorized as the release notes
said.
Before PG_COLOR=auto is set: pg_dump: error: connection to database
"tanghy.fnst" failed: FATAL:
After PG_COLOR=auto is set: [01mpg_dump: [0m[01;31merror: [0mconnection
to database "tanghy.fnst" failed: FATAL
I think the colorization to the output of command-line is not supported at
Windows.
Maybe function "pg_logging_init" at source "src\common\logging.c" should add
a platform check.
Besides, the related release note of PG12 should add some description about
it.
Best Regards,
Tang
