color config option no longer works

[moppman]

Hi,
with scli master and hotfix/202 branches the color config option no longer works for me, i.e. I see no colored output anymore.

scli --debug yields no errors.
The urwid palette test from the README looks good to me.

This has been the case for a while, but I'm not sure since when exactly 😢 . Maybe Signal changed the way message colors are handled on their end?

signal-cli version 0.11.4
urwid version 2.1.2-2 (Debian repo)

Thanks for reporting!

This must have started with signal-cli v0.11.0. Scli attempts to obtain the contacts' colors information from the recepients-store file, which has been replaced with a database. (Incidentally, this is also the cause of #202)

I don't currently see a method call to obtain colors through signal-cli's API. I've asked about it upstream: AsamK/signal-cli#1072

Needs upstream implementation: AsamK/signal-cli#1187
