hi - yeah - i'm tracking this on a pull request. this is a very interesting regression.

[jitenoswal]

Yea it is interesting. Is someone already working on fixing it?

[drudru]

Yes, patch should be within a few hours.

Hi - ok, tried to repro in my environment and there wasn't an issue.

Can you show me the html returned? Also, a little about your environment. I thought this was the same as the pull request, but it isn't.

Oh my god!! This is one of those facepalm moments.

Thanks for your prompt confirmation that this is a different issue than the pull request you have.

So I see the html is getting generated perfectly fine. But the text in the middle is not visible as its color is same as the background color is.

<pre id="console">
<span style="color:rgb(255, 85, 85)">Error retrieving a new session from the selenium server</span>
Error: connect ECONNREFUSED
    at exports._errnoException (util.js:746:11)
    at TCPConnectWrap.afterConnect [as oncomplete] (net.js:983:19)

<span style="color:rgb(187, 0, 0)">
Connection refused! Is selenium server started?
</span>
</pre>

Solution: I added css to change default color for all text to be green instead of black. I wonder how no one else faced this issue before :P

[drudru]

No worries. I guess a lot of people purposely set their text and background for output since a white background tends to not be what ANSI output is generated for.

Also, in the options, you can specify that you want classes instead. In fact, there is an example css/scss in the examples dir that allows you to theme the ansi_up output.

take care,
