I’m finding it difficult to debug…lots of magic going on.

base-runner/node_modules/log-utils

var utils = require('ansi-colors');

...

define(utils, 'timestamp', function() {
  return '[' + utils.gray(utils.timeStamp('HH:mm:ss')) + ']';
});

ansi-colors

var colors = require('lazy-cache')(require);

etc.
