How to avoid coloring in angular-cli?

Question

I use frontend-maven-plugin to build angular 2 project, and all its output is gathered into log file

How to avoid this attempts to color the output?

As far as I understand, this is webpack output. And it has an option to remove coloring --no-color (See https://webpack.github.io/docs/cli.html). But how to configure it withing angular-cli project?

[INFO] > ng build --prod --no-progress

I'll bite... what real issue does the color output cause? I wouldn't think that it could be an issue in a log file. Am I wrong? — R. Richards, Apr 08 '17 at 00:31

AFAIK, that feature is not supported by angular-cli now.

But there is a temporary solution:

ng build | sed -r "s/\x1B\[([0-9]{1,2}(;[0-9]{1,2})?)?[mGK]//g" > log.txt

it's reference from https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/6478#issuecomment-304276909 and here

And hope it would be supported natively by angular-cli soon :).
