Visual Studio Code Debug Console colors?

Question

Is there a way to display colors (like in a terminal) in the Debug Console of Visual Studio Code (Version 1.10.2) when debugging node.js code?

Answer 1

For best results, also avoid opening the console. Here's my config for debugging the current file with Jest:

{
    "type": "node",
    "request": "launch",
    "name": "Jest Test (current)",
    "program": "${workspaceFolder}/node_modules/.bin/jest",
    "args": [
        "--config=jest.config.json",
        "--runInBand",
        "${relativeFile}",
    ],
    // The vscode console does not support colors used by Jest output
    "console": "integratedTerminal",
    "internalConsoleOptions": "neverOpen",
}
