Environment Details
OS: Windows 11 Python: 3.11 Project: fish-speech Component: Conversation.visualize()
Steps to Reproduce
- Create or use a
Conversationinstance. - Call
Conversation.visualize()withuse_color=False:
conversation.visualize(
tokenizer,
use_color=False,
)
3. Observe that the output still contains ANSI color formatting.
Conversation.visualize() also exposes merge_audio_tokens:
conversation.visualize(
tokenizer,
merge_audio_tokens=True,
)
However, ContentSequence.visualize() does not currently implement this parameter.
### ✔️ Expected Behavior
```markdown
`use_color=False` should disable ANSI color formatting in the visualization output.
If `merge_audio_tokens` is intended to be a supported option, enabling it should affect the visualization accordingly.
If these parameters are not intended to be supported, they could instead be removed or documented as unsupported.
### ❌ Actual Behavior
`Conversation.visualize()` accepts `use_color` and `merge_audio_tokens`, but these parameters currently have no effect.
When `use_color=False` is passed, the visualization still uses ANSI color formatting.
`merge_audio_tokens=True` is also ignored because `ContentSequence.visualize()` currently only supports `ignore_loss_tokens` and `merge_semantic_tokens`.
This results in public API parameters that appear to be supported but do not currently change the behavior.
I would be happy to submit a PR if these parameters are intended to be supported.Source: fishaudio/fish-speech
