JSON highlighting corrupted by green background in Windows Terminal

See original GitHub issue

Checklist

I’ve searched for similar issues.
I’m using the latest version of HTTPie.

Minimal reproduction code and steps

Request a JSON file using HTTPie in Windows Terminal, e.g. http -j GET https://raw.githubusercontent.com/httpie/httpie/master/tests/fixtures/test.json
Observe corrupt/incorrect green background in JSON syntax highlighting

Windows Terminal version 1.11.3471.0 Windows 10 21H2 (19044.1415) HTTPie 2.6.0 Python 3.10.1

JSON highlighting used to work correctly for me, but I’m not sure in exactly which version(s). I tested in Command Prompt, too, with the same result, so I don’t think this is specific to Windows Terminal.

As as a quick workaround (until this issue gets resolved) you can actually set it as the default by adding the following to your config file (possibly located at %APPDATA%\httpie\config.json):

{
    "default_options": [
        "--style=auto"
    ]
}

We normally use fruity (a custom theme) as the default on windows (and auto on linux/mac os) because we had reports in the past that it was the best looking, though we probably should re-investigate this and perhaps use auto on all platforms. https://github.com/httpie/httpie/blob/508788ca5688bbdfba24b1a810d3091c78eccf46/httpie/output/formatters/colors.py#L30-L34
