The actual output from the build tool (CMake/Ninja) may or may not
contain color escape codes, depending on various factors. The output
written to the log file should never include color escape codes,
though. This is because color escape codes in files are usually not
rendered as "color" in editors, and complicate reading. Also escape
codes would break the regular expressions used to display hints for
compilation errors.
If stdout is a TTY (meaning that the output is not redirected), tell
the build tool (GNU Make or Ninja) to enable colorized output.
GNU Make and Ninja also check if their stdout is redirected and
strip color escape sequences in that case. CLICOLOR_FORCE environment
variable overrides this behavior.
With this change, if the compiler was launched with the
-fcolor-diagnostics flag and idf.py output is not redirected, the
final output in the terminal will be colorized.
(-fcolor-diagnostics is handled at CMake level by the previous commit)
This fixes the issue with build output not being colorized on Windows,
while the hints messages are colorized.
The issue occurred because sys.stdout and sys.stderr get overridden
by colorama.init() at runtime, but the default argument
output_stream=sys.stdout holds the reference to the"original"
sys.stdout.
colorama.init() (which, by the way, gets called via a curious chain
of imports, via idf_component_tools.manifest and tqdm package)
overrides standard streams, on Windows only. The overridden streams
contain logic to convert ANSI color codes into Windows Console API
calls to colorize the text.
Since read_and_write_stream function used the default value of
output_stream evaluated at module loading time, it was using the
original sys.stdout, not the one overridden by colorama.
One extra note is that while this does fix the coloring issue, the
solution is a bit fragile, as it relies on one of the following
(on Windows):
- colorama.init() is called (this can change if idf-component-manager
stops importing tqdm)
- Sufficiently new version of Windows 10 is used, and ANSI color codes
support is enabled in the Registry.

Add docs subcommand with options:
--no-browser - Prints url for current documentation instead of opens browser with documentation
--language - Select documentation language
--starting-page - Choice section of documentation to open
--version - Choice version of esp-idf
--target - Choice model of your target
Can still be enabled by passing --cmake-warn-uninitialized on the command line
Prevents CMake warnings printed by default if IDF_PATH is underneath the CMake
project directory.
The reason for this is that CMake --warn-uninitialized only enables checks
inside the project directory (ie top-level CMakeLists.txt directory and
subdirectories), it doesn't enable for files included from other directories.
(The only way to enable warnings in other directories is to pass
--check-system-dirs and this looks like it's only useful for CMake's own
developers as it prints a lot of warnings from inside CMake otherwise - see
https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/-/issues/19645 )
Plan to follow up with a later commit to clean up most of the warnings (which
aren't problems for CMake execution), but we'll also disable this option by
default to avoid this unexpected triggering of IDF warnings.
This solves the issue that target is changed to the default one after
idf.py fullclean.
Also allow setting the default target using sdkconfig.defaults, e.g.
CONFIG_IDF_TARGET="esp32s2"
Closes IDF-1040
Python 2 expect the environ variables are all of type 'str', but
sometimes wrong 'unicode' type is given.
Here we force all variables that are not str to become str.
