stop working for me (Solved)

[ozkrgonzalez]

i use this extension a lot, but i don't know when stop working, i tried go back to an older version but no luck, when i go to features, runtime status, i got this error:

Runtime Status
Activation
Activated by onCommand:sfdxPackageGen.chooseMetadata event: 0ms

Uncaught Errors (3)
Unexpected token '�', "�[97m{�[39"... is not valid JSON

Unexpected token '�', "�[97m{�[39"... is not valid JSON

Unexpected token '�', "�[97m{�[39"... is not valid JSON

i don't know if it's a file in my workspace or what is that json, is there any log to see?

EDIT: after see the logs, the problem is that at least y my enviroment, the command sf org display --json, returns the json with colors, so the unknow chars:

�[97m → bright white
�[94m → clear blue
�[92m → clear geen
�[32m → creen
�[39m → other color,

so the function getAPIVersion doesn't know what to do

i follow the instructions from other issue to get de develoepr console logs, after replaceing some confidential info, here is the log

`console.ts:137 [Extension Host]% {}

after update: extension.js

i set const envVars = Object.assign({}, process.env, { FORCE_COLOR: "0" }); at the beginning of the script, then in every child.exec i set ent env: envVars, there are 6 places where to add this line, and now the extension is working fine:

here an example of the replacement:

    const foo = child.exec(sfdxCmd, {
        maxBuffer: 1024 * 1024 * 10,  // Incremento de buffer a 10MB
        cwd: workspacePath,
		env: envVars
    });

I'm still getting this error, nearly daily. Usually restarting VS Code resolves it but it's not consitent.
