Windows command line showing invalid characters about stripe-cli HOT 6 CLOSED

Just tested and it seems ok. I'll let you know if anything comes up, thanks!

@brandonfarber sorry about that.

Could you try to run with --color off and see if that helps?

Hi @brandonfarber, thanks for the report. Those weird characters are ANSI color codes, which unfortunately the Windows default console app does not support.

You can add the --color=off flag to disable the color codes. We also plan on adding support for setting this option permanently in your config file so you don't have to pass the flag every time.

Microsoft is also working on a new terminal app (https://github.com/microsoft/terminal) that should hopefully correctly handle ANSI color codes. You can also try using a third-party app like ConEmu or Cmder which should also correctly display colors.

(EDIT: oops, too slow! 😅)

Thanks for the tip, I'll keep it in mind.

I don't know if you want to investigate ways to address automatically (maybe something along these lines: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38044810/detect-ansi-compatible-console-from-windows-batch-file) or if the code is abstracted enough it's designed to be pretty much the same across all environments, but I figured I'd point out the issue. Feel free to close this since it's fairly minor, if the intention is to use the flag to switch off colors or wait on an updated console to be released.

I think there may be things we can do to improve the experience on Windows here, so let's keep this open for now.

Hey @brandonfarber, we just released v0.4.4. Colors should be displaying normally now (if you're using Windows 10 -- older Windows versions would still be affected).

Feel free to reply here or open a new issue if you notice anything amiss!
