From eec10fb134d00142cd5810b2916dcddd98d7569f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: agu2347 <94227848+agu2347@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Tue, 15 Sep 2026 22:00:48 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] Fix --color being silently stripped on redirected/piped output NullWriter.isatty() returned True. NullWriter discards everything written to it, so it has no terminal to color in the first place -- it should always report False. That mattered because NULL_PRINTER is built at import time as Printer(out_stream=NullWriter(), quiet=True). Printer.__init__ defaults ansi_color to out_stream.isatty() and calls colorama.init() as a side effect whenever ansi_color ends up True. With the old isatty() returning True, importing graphtage.printer unconditionally triggered colorama.init() at import time, before __main__.py ever parsed --color. colorama.init() replaces sys.stdout/sys.stderr with its own stripping wrapper. Any later, real Printer built by main() on top of that already-wrapped stdout inherits a stream that strips ANSI escapes whenever the destination isn't a real terminal -- exactly the redirected/piped case the issue reports, and exactly the case where someone would pass --color to force it. The flag was silently swallowed by import-order side effects it had no way to know about. Fix: NullWriter.isatty() now returns False. NULL_PRINTER.ansi_color is then False, colorama.init() is no longer called at import time, and sys.stdout is left alone for main() to wrap correctly when --color is passed. Testing: - New test/test_printer.py (4 tests): NullWriter.isatty() is False and NULL_PRINTER.ansi_color is False; importing graphtage.printer in a fresh subprocess leaves sys.stdout unmodified; an end-to-end repro of the issue (graphtage --no-status --color a.json b.json with stdout captured/redirected) now emits ANSI escapes, where it emitted none before the fix. - Confirmed the new tests fail with the expected AssertionErrors against the unmodified code (git stash) and pass against the fix. - Ran the full existing test suite (test/), all passing, no regressions. Fixes #128. This PR was prepared with AI assistance (Claude) under my direction: I reviewed the root-cause analysis and the diff before opening it.
