Monitor_filters = time - timestamp does not show

FAQ
#1

Dear All,
I use MacOS 12.4 arm, vs code 1.69.1, PlatformIO Core 6.1.2a3 Home 3.4.2, Espressif 32 5.0.0.
The platformio.ini file contains:

[env:nodemcu-32s]
platform = espressif32
board = nodemcu-32s
framework = espidf
monitor_speed = 115200
upload_speed = 230400
monitor_filters = 
	time
	colorize
monitor_raw = yes

The timestamp does not appear in monitor window.
I tried pio upgrade --dev but it did not solve trouble.

Could you please help me about it?

Thank you in advance.
Best regards

And when you remove that?

Dear maxgerhard,

Thank you for quick answer.

When I remove monitor raw = yes the timestamp appear.
In this case the unreadable characters appear and colorize does not work. I use monitor_raw = yes to avoid unreadable characters on monitor.
monitor_encoding¶ has not helped me. I use default UTF-8.

Per docs, that only colorizes the sent and received data in different colors, but doesn’t enable the ANSI color codes that the ESP-IDF sends to work.

The problem I’m seeing is that raw mode turns off all transformations, so time and colorize are ignored.

Based on pio device monitor — PlatformIO latest documentation you might try the filters default, time or printable, time.

Dear maxgerhard,

Thank you for quick answer.
As you suggested I have tested some monitor_filters setting. Now my setting is:
monitor_filters =
time
direct
esp32_exception_decoder
and it works fine.

Thank you very much for your help and support.
