Disable color for a logger (or Formatter)

[jackkoenig]

Is there a way to disable color for a logger other than by creating a fully custom Formatter? I quite like the default Formatter but I would like to disable color when logging to a file.

In fact, even using the simple formatter with a file writer is still inserting ANSI reset at the end of every line, can I disable this?

Sure, set the outputFormat when creating the handler:

logger.withHandler(outputFormat = ASCIIOutputFormat)

Perfect, thank you!

If you want to just permanently disable ANSI you can do:

OutputFormat.default = ASCIIOutputFormat

Ensure that it is at the very beginning of your code, though.
