Icecream produces strange output when used within doctest

[tschoenfelder]

Hello,

I tried to use ic within doctests (python 3.11.8) :
import doctest
from icecream import ic

def tester():
"""

tester()
"""
a = ic(5*3)
print(f"{a=}")

if name == 'main':
doctest.testmod()

doctest will return

�[38;5;247mic�[39m�[38;5;245m|�[39m�[38;5;245m �[39m�[38;5;36m5�[39m�[38;5;245m*�[39m�[38;5;36m3�[39m�[38;5;245m:�[39m�[38;5;245m �[39m�[38;5;36m15�[39m

---

File "C:/Users/U070420/Downloads/ictest.py", line 6, in main.tester
Failed example:
tester()
Expected nothing
Got:
a=15

---

1 items had failures:
1 of 1 in main.tester
Test Failed 1 failures.

where the print works as expected, but icecream produces strange output.

Any way around this?

Thank you!

Best regards,
Torsten

Which version of icecream were you using?

I have reformatted the code you have provided so that it can be easily copied:

from icecream import ic

def tester():
    """
    >>> tester()
    >>> a = ic(5*3)
    >>> print(f"{a=}")
    """

if __name__ == '__main__':
    import doctest
    doctest.testmod()

I tested the above code with icecream 2.1.3 in python 3.11.8 and got the correct output:

ic| 5*3: 15
