Print () to console log with color

Question

The code:

let redColor = "\u{001B}[0;31m" var message = "Some Message" print(redColor + message) //This doesnt work print("\(redColor)\(message)" //This also doesnt work 

and the result will look like this:

 [0;31mSome Message 

I also read this post: Color output using the Swift command-line tool and it doesn't seem to work.

I do not want to use libraries.

Answer 1

The Xcode debugging console does not currently support coloring.

Answer 2

As @LeslieGodwin mentioned, the XcodeColors Xcode plugin adds color support to the Xcode console (for Xcode versions below 8)

Answer 3

Not possible, but I recommend using emoticons! https://github.com/robbiehanson/XcodeColors/issues/88#issuecomment-248256673

Answer 4

Xcode does not support console coloring since Xcode 8.

But since Xcode is fully Unicode compatible, you can use emojis instead! For example, you can use. You can use ⚠️ for warning messages and 🛑 for error messages. (like Xcode itself)

Or just use these notebooks as a color:

 📕: error message 📙: warning message 📗: ok status message 📘: action message 📓: canceled status message 📔: Or anything you like and want to recognize immediately by color 

Answer 5

The console cannot maintain color.
