[scala-tools] emacs and sbt shell

[Erik Engbrecht]

I have emacs setup according to the instructions here:

http://scala.sygneca.com/tools/emacs

After some fiddling it seems to work, except that the colors that sbt uses for its shell are coming across as gibberish text, and as a result links back to where compile errors occurred don't work because the gibberish is treated as part of the file name.

Is there a way to either make emacs handle the colors or turn them off in sbt?

Here's a sample:

^[[0m[^[[31merror^[[0m] ^[[0m  foo^[[0m

^[[0m[^[[31merror^[[0m] ^[[0m  ^^[[0m

^[[0m[^[[31merror^[[0m] ^[[0mone error found^[[0m

^[[0m[^[[0minfo^[[0m] ^[[34m== compile ==^[[0m

^[[0m[^[[31merror^[[0m] ^[[0mError running compile: Compilation unsuccessful.^[[0m

^[[0m[^[[0minfo^[[0m] ^[[0m^[[0m

^[[0m[^[[0minfo^[[0m] ^[[0mTotal time: 2 s^[[0m

This happens in both Emacs 22.1.1 on the terminal and AquaMacs 1.8.

Thanks,

Erik

java -Dsbt.log.noformat=true -Xmx256M -jar `dirname $0`/sbt-launcher-0.5.2.jar "$@"

Thanks, I got that from Mark on IRC and Ray Racine off-list.

(ansi-color-for-comint-mode-on) did not work for me.  I wish it did.  It could be the versions of Emacs that I tired.

Turning off formatting in sbt did work.
