Changing color of stacktrace info in REPL?

New to Julia
,
1

For some reason my stacktrace info is being output as white text, which is a problem since I use a near-white background for my REPL. I’ve tried setting JULIA_STACKFRAME_FUNCTION_COLOR and JULIA_STACKFRAME_LINEINFO_COLOR to no effect. What’s the correct way to change the color of the stacktrace output?

(Note: this is bash on windows.)

2

As in ENV["JULIA_STACKFRAME_FUNCTION_COLOR"] = :blue.?

3

I tried both the color symbols and the escape codes.

4

What does Base.stackframe_function_color() say?

5

Unfortunately I won’t be able to tell until next week.

I ran

export JULIA_STACKFRAME_FUNCTION_COLOR=:blue
./julia

and in the REPL, I see

julia> ENV

Should be export JULIA_STACKFRAME_FUNCTION_COLOR=blue

8

Ah, that works. It still doesn’t change other things (the repl help is mainly bright white, which is difficult to read on a 0xddddd background).

9

No, it changes the JULIA_STACKFRAME_FUNCTION_COLOR only.

10

Understood - but I meant JULIA_HELP_COLOR - it doesn’t change the help text.

Sorry for entering this thread, but I have similar issue in my Linux shell with solarized scheme on 1.6.0-DEV

I’ve tried different values for JULIA_STACKFRAME_FUNCTION_COLOR to no avail.
