Is there a way to display colors (like in a terminal) in the Debug Console of Visual Studio Code (Version 1.10.2) when debugging node.js code?
To output coloured messages from nodejs in visual studio you can use formatted message in console.log method. for example :
console.log('\u001b[' + 32 + 'm' + 'hello stack' + '\u001b[0m')
as implemented in Mocha. 32 is a color code. Other color codes and usage sample you can find in theirs repo: https://github.com/mochajs/mocha/blob/9e95d36e4b715380cef573014dec852bded3f8e1/lib/reporters/base.js#L48
Or as a log library you can use, for example pinojs + pino-pretty module and your log output will be displayed as here :
