Swingbench Update including Oracle Database 23ai Drivers
I know it’s been a while since we’ve had a swingbench update. Thats mainly because of work commitments and “life”. Thats not to say there hasn’t been work go...
I’ll make a confession. I don’t own a Microsoft Windows Machine. I never have and probably never will. This means that I generally never get the oppertunity to test Swingbench on Windows when I release the code. I just assume it will be ok or someone will complain.
My friend Connor McDonald was the first to complain…. Thanks Connor
It seems that by default that on Windows it doesn’t render the escape codes that makes the magic happen for colour text so you end up with some thing like this It’s an easy fix you just need to update the registry
reg add HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console /v VirtualTerminalLevel /t REG_DWORD /d 0x00000001 /f
and the following to put it back to its original value
reg add HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Console /v VirtualTerminalLevel /t REG_DWORD /d 0x00000000 /f
This change will solve the problem and render colour
I’ll release a fix shortly that turns colour off automatically on Windows but enables you to turn it on from the command line rather than just being able to turn it off.
