improving multi project output by coloring depending on project

Open vladtepesch opened this issue 7 years ago • 0 comments

Maybe this comes along with https://github.com/nbalakin/VSOutputEnhancer/issues/21 or a small modification of this:

Each subproject should get an own assigned color and the build starting line, the build end line and the corresponding line starting tags ("1>", "2>") should colored with the same Color.

At best, the colors would not depend on the number, but on the projectname so that within a solution all projects have different colors that are the same everytime even if the numbers in the build order are different (eg. because some projects does not need to be rebuild)

so looking at:

6>------ Rebuild All started: Project: foobar , Configuration: Release x64 ------ 6> ClCompile: 6> baz.cpp 6>Build succeeded.

i would suggest to color the backgrounds of all the tags "6>" the background of the projectname "foobar" (maybe also the "------ ")

If your are able to manipulate the output text itself, may be change it to

6>Build "foobar" succeeded.

and color the projectname and colorize the "succeeded" or "failed" with red or green
