VSCode Log Output Colorizer

License Version Installs Ratings

Language extension for VSCode/Bluemix Code that adds syntax colorization for both the output/debug/extensions panel and *.log files.

Note: If you are using other extensions that colorize the output panel, it could override and disable this extension.

Colorization should work with most themes because it uses common theme token style names. It also works with most instances of the output panel. Initially attempts to match common literals (strings, dates, numbers, guids) and warning|info|error|server|local messages.

Customization

You can customize the semantic identification of the output by adding entries to outputcolorizer.semantics.

Example:

In settings.json:

    "outputcolorizer.semantics": [
        {
            "pattern": "{.*}",
            "applies": "between",
            "tokenType": "info",
            "tokenModifier": "output"
        },
    ]

This will identify anything inside the matching regex pattern as info.output semantics. Now you are free to add your own color rule:

// settings.json
    "editor.semanticTokenColorCustomizations": {
        "rules": {
            "error.output": "#ff0000",
            "info.output": "#00ff00"
        },
    },

Settings Object:

interface SemanticObject {
  pattern: string;    // A Regex compliant string
  applies: 'between' | 'eol' | 'eof';
  tokenType: string;
  tokenModifier: string;
}
  • pattern

    This is a regex string fed into RegExp() class. Escape rules apply just as they would to the RegExp class in javascript.

  • applies

    Applies Description
    between From the start to the end of the regex will be identified by the semantic tokenType.tokenModifier
    eol From the start of the regex match to the end of the line will be identified by the sematnic tokenType.tokenModifier, unless another token occurs before then
    eof From the start of the regex match to the end of the file will be identified by the sematnic tokenType.tokenModifier, unless another token occurs before then
  • tokenType

    This can be either a standard token or a custom name that you would like to assign values to separately.

  • tokenModifier

    This can be either a standard modifier or a custom name that you would like to assign values to separately.
