Display error messages from new_project.kts in red text instead of the default color

[ryan-conway]

When running new_project.kts, it runs multiple steps, including but not limited to:

• Verify arguments
• Initialize new project folder
• Build and run tests

Suppose one of these steps fails, it will print a message saying what went wrong:

We could update the message to appear in red text so that the error will be more apparent if one occurs:

Advantage?
When an error occurs, it will be much more obvious to the end user that something went wrong.
Would also help mitigate the disadvantage on #268.

Disadvantage?
May not display correctly with the default Windows terminal without using external libraries. (source)

@ryan-conway Cool! 🤩

I like the idea, but I prefer keeping the script simple by not requiring an external library.

So my vote is "No", and prefer going with emojis (ex: ❌ or 🔴)

To make it simple, I agree to go with emojis 👍

[chornerman]

Agree 🚀

@nimblehq/android-chapter For those who voted "Yes", which approach do you guys prefer?

• ASCII
• External library

[luongvo]

I voted No. I don't see many CLIs showing error messages in red. We might spend unnecessary effort on this 🙏

Displaying error text with a noticeable sign is a good approach, but using another library to achieve it might be unnecessary. So my vote for this RFC is No ⛔ but using emoji in text like @Tuubz 's suggestion looks good to me 👍

@ryan-conway Voting completed, I'll leave it up to you to resolve this discussion 🚀

[toby-thanathip]

@ryan-conway Just to be sure we're aligned, even though the voting says we won't change the text color, we will still create an issue to add an ❌ emoji to the error message, right? 🙇

[ryan-conway]

Yes, will create it today 👍🏻
