Disabling color escape sequences in WildFly's console logging for IDE


Posted on Wednesday Mar 18, 2015 at 11:31AM in WildFly


I’m using IntelliJ IDEA for developing Java EE applications on WildFly. its built-in WildFly console appears as follows:

...
[0m11:20:28,608 INFO  [org.jboss.as.server] (Controller Boot Thread) JBAS015888: Creating http management service using socket-binding (management-http)
11:20:28,625 INFO  [org.xnio] (MSC service thread 1-9) XNIO version 3.3.0.Final
11:20:28,631 INFO  [org.xnio.nio] (MSC service thread 1-9) XNIO NIO Implementation Version 3.3.0.Final
...

You can see strange characters in the head of every lines. they are color escape sequences that works fine with terminal emulators but not for IntelliJ IDEA’s console output. to disable color escape sequences, issue following command in jboss-cli:

/subsystem=logging/console-handler=CONSOLE:write-attribute(name=named-formatter, value=PATTERN)

Now strange characters disappeared from IntelliJ IDEA’s console as follows:

...
2015-03-18 11:26:11,800 INFO  [org.jboss.as.server] (Controller Boot Thread) JBAS015888: Creating http management service using socket-binding (management-http)
2015-03-18 11:26:11,812 INFO  [org.xnio] (MSC service thread 1-4) XNIO version 3.3.0.Final
2015-03-18 11:26:11,817 INFO  [org.xnio.nio] (MSC service thread 1-4) XNIO NIO Implementation Version 3.3.0.Final
...
