Missing processor in Joomla\Application\Cli\Output\Stdout

[ghost]

Since Joomla\Application\Cli\Output\Stdout does not require a processor while constructing, we need to make sure that there is a processor if we do something like:

// Stdout.php line 32
fwrite(STDOUT, $this->processor->process($text) . ($nl ? "\n" : null));

especially if we create an unusable output object in Joomla\Application\AbstractCliApplication

// AbstractCliApplication.php line 62
$this->output = ($output instanceof CliOutput) ? $output : new Cli\Output\Stdout;

Today, every use of Joomla\Application\AbstractCliApplication without injecting an output object will bring a fatal error.

The exact error is:

PHP Fatal error:  Call to a member function process() on a non-object in ...\vendor\joomla\application\src\Cli\Output\Stdout.php on line 32

Workaround is to set processor in your application, after __construct and before you try to output anything:

public function execute()
{
    // Set the output processor
    $this->output->setProcessor(new \Joomla\Application\Cli\Output\Processor\ColorProcessor);
}

I would check for processor in the Stdout->out method and if there's null, instantiate new ColorProcessor. Or update the docs.

BTW: Why the Issues in Application repo are disabled?
