Thank you for letting me know. I'll take a look at it. That was a strange decision to mess with the output color for all cli applications.

Description
Cspell prints its summary output to stderr, which is expected.
However, it does this using
console.error
, which is intended to be used for actual errors. Starting in Node 20.15,console.error
is colored red on supported terminals to reinforce this purpose.Thus, even when cspell runs successfully with no issues found, on Node 20.15+ the red output makes it seem like something has gone wrong.
I believe that cspell should emit the summary to stderr, but use a method other than
console.error
. Perhapsprocess.stderr
directly?Steps to Reproduce
node --version
.cspell
and observe that the summary is red, even when there are no issues found.Expected Behavior
Summary output should be red only if something has gone wrong (i.e. one or more issues found).
