Unfortunately, similar request have been refused, e.g. see #571 or #186963.

I please VS Code devs, consider some switch in the settings like "Debug console interprets escape characters"

[xmedeko]

Workaround From https://stackoverflow.com/a/44186259/254109 is to add to the launch configuration:

            "internalConsoleOptions": "neverOpen",
            "console": "integratedTerminal"

(The colored output goes to the terminal, but it still goes uncolored to the Debug Console, too, VS Code 1.94).

This was fixed in 1.94.2 here: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/230441

This was fixed in 1.94.2 here: #230441

I checked and it doesn't work for me.

Are any configuration changes required for the fix to work?

[adventureisyou]

I didn't have to make any configuration changes, but it was only broken for me on 1.94.0 and 1.94.1 (and only for some applications - others still showed colours). For 1.93.0 and before it was working just fine too.

Sorry I can't be of more help!

This is still broken on 1.94.2. The launch.json settings in https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/230880#issuecomment-2410215492 worked like a charm for me, however.
