Hi! Just testing ktlint for the first time. I am getting some weird encoding errors when I open the report with VSCode. A lot of [90m and similar characters:
[90m/Users/henning.bunk/repos/work/wetter-app/[0mbuild.gradle.kts[90m:[0m38[90m:9:[0m Missing space after //
Any idea how to get rid of them?

I am on Mac and execute ktlint via gradle

Which reporter are you using? I wonder if it's trying to color the output for console display

[Henning B]

Just had a look at the report in the cli (fish) these lines are white and look fine. there are a few other lines which are red though

[Henning B]

implemented ktlint via org.jlleitschuh.gradle.ktlint plugin. will have a look which reporter is default there

[Henning B]

not super sure but I think it's the plain-reporter

[romtsn]

yeah that looks like a color indeed.. do you set outputColorName perhaps in the config?

[romtsn]

@Henning B just saw your question over at ktlint-gradle repo, you can try to unset it with coloredOutput.set(false)

[romtsn]

btw this is missing in the documentation I think @tapchicoma

@Henning B I've answered you in Github discussion

Thank you! Testing it now 🙂

Had no impact initially but I found my mistake. I added the configuration block from https://github.com/JLLeitschuh/ktlint-gradle#configuration here to my project gradle file on the root level. Moving it into the subprojects { } like how it is described earlier fixes it.

Thanks for your help and providing the plugin!
