clang-tidy settings UseColor breaks clang-tidy integration

[tnixeu]

Environment

• OS and Version: Windows 11
• VS Code Version: v1.74.3
• C/C++ Extension Version: v1.13.9
• clang-tidy Version: v15.0.6

Bug Summary and Steps to Reproduce

Bug Summary:

The clang-tidy integration does not work if in the clang-tidy configuration file UseColor is set to true. It seems that the coloring information breaks the parser.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a clang-tidy configuration file
2. Set UserColor to true
3. set "C_Cpp.loggingLevel": "Information" // not need but helps debugging it
4. Run Code Analysis
5. Clang-tidy finishes but no warnings or errors are highlighted by squiggles
6. Output in C/C++ log shows the clang-tidy output as
   

Expected behavior:

Ignore coloring information when parsing clang-tidy output or silently configure clang-tidy to not use color in its output by adding --use-color=false to the command line.

Workaround:

For now I am using "C_Cpp.codeAnalysis.clangTidy.args": ["--use-color=false"] in order to get the clang-tidy integration working again.

@tnixeu
Thanks for finding and reporting this issue. The extension's parser for clang-tidy indeed doesn't consider color information from the clang-tidy output. This issue is slated to be fixed.
