node.js - Winston doesn't pretty-print to console -

i'm trying winston pretty print console, stuck in file , ran node:

var winston = require('winston'); winston.cli(); winston.data({   a: "test",   of: "many",   properties: {     like: "this"   } }); winston.data('data', {   a: "test",   of: "many",   properties: {     like: "this"   } }); 

the terminal spit following (not pretty) messages:

data:     a=test, of=many, like=this data:    data a=test, of=many, like=this 

i'm following instructions on winston readme ("using winston in cli tool"). misreading something? missing setting somewhere?

i figured out answer (the documentation incorrect). if use constructor, , manually add transports, can set options, both winston, , individual transports. options need added winston directly, while others need added transport.

e.g.:

var winston = require('winston'); var logger = new (winston.logger)({   levels: {     trace: 0,     input: 1,     verbose: 2,     prompt: 3,     debug: 4,     info: 5,     data: 6,     help: 7,     warn: 8,     error: 9   },   colors: {     trace: 'magenta',     input: 'grey',     verbose: 'cyan',     prompt: 'grey',     debug: 'blue',     info: 'green',     data: 'grey',     help: 'cyan',     warn: 'yellow',     error: 'red'   } });  logger.add(winston.transports.console, {   level: 'trace',   prettyprint: true,   colorize: true,   silent: false,   timestamp: false });  logger.add(winston.transports.file, {   prettyprint: false,   level: 'info',   silent: false,   colorize: true,   timestamp: true,   filename: './nkindler.log',   maxsize: 40000,   maxfiles: 10,   json: false });
