OpenShift Pipelines Terminal Emulator

[Joshua-Beha]

Overview

I have recently been working on improving the logging output of a custom ClusterTask. As part of the improvements, I would like to add colored lines and hyperlinks to the output. I noticed that if I view task logs from the OpenShift Operator console, colored outputs and hyperlinks are not properly formatted. For instance:

If I find the pod and view the logs from the OpenShift GUI (not in the pipelines view) I can see the formatted output as expected:

(I did use set -x such that the commands for creating the hyperlink and completing the text formatting are visible.)

This leads me to believe that the terminal emulator is slightly different between the two implementations. It would be great to be able to view the formatted output from the PipelineRun Logs view.

Version info

OCP 4.15.45 (also noticed on 4.14.38)
OCP pipelines operator v1.17.1
Image used for custom task: registry.access.redhat.com/ubi9/ubi:latest
Architectures: x86 and s390x

Also, if this is the wrong place to raise this issue, please feel free to point me in the right direction.

@vdemeester is this the right place to be opening this sort of thing or should I open on the RH Jira?

@Joshua-Beha I think openshift-pipelines/console-plugin is the repo you're looking for :)
