Want to copy log without escape

The following fragment is a example of test case log emitted by Katalon Studio 5.10.0 on Windows 7. I copy&pasted the lines out of the Log Viewer.

In there you can find a lot of escape sequences, for example e[34m, e[0;39m, e[39m2. These escape sequences are annoying. They make the pasted text hard to read.

In the Katalon Studio GUI, in the log view pane, I found a button titled “Copy text with escape”:

I would rather like to have a button “Copy text without escape”

This issue annoys me a lot when I make a post into this Forum with log information attached.

Please fix this A.S.A.P.

A temporary workaround in the meantime is to delete all text matching the regex \u001b\[[\d;]*[A-HJKSTfimnsu].

In the version 5.10.1, I do not see the escape sequences such as e[34m , e[0;39m , e[39m2 any longer.

@Katalon team

Have you changed the code already?

Yes if you are on macOS. There is another issue and we have to temporarily disable colored logs.

Close since this issue has been fixed.
