[rspec-users] Color output in pagers
Hi. Is it possible to get color text in less, more or other pagers while piping the color output of Cucumber and RSpec? If it's not possible is there any other methods to work with the color text in a console without permanent “rewinding” the output back to the beginning? Thanks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. ___ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users

Have a look at these options for `less`: From LESS(1) man page: -r or --raw-control-chars Causes raw control characters to be displayed. The default is to display control characters using the caret notation; for example, a control-A (octal 001) is displayed as ^A. Warning: when the -r option is used, less cannot keep track of the actual appearance of the screen (since this depends on how the screen responds to each type of control character). Thus, various display problems may result, such as long lines being split in the wrong place. -R or --RAW-CONTROL-CHARS Like -r, but only ANSI color escape sequences are output in raw form. Unlike -r, the screen appearance is maintained correctly in most cases. You can set default options for less to use via the LESS evironment variable. As an example, here is the value of mine: $ echo $LESS -X -e -R Cheers, Paul ___ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users
Re: [rspec-users] Color output in pagers
I solve it by myself. To enable piping color output in Cucumber it needs to run the cucumber command with the -c option. $ cucumber -c | less #= color output To enable piping color output in RSpec it needs to set the RSPEC_COLOR environment variable to true. $ export RSPEC_COLOR=true $ spec path/to/spec | less #= color output However, if RSPEC_COLOR is set to true the output to a file will include color tags. To prevent it, it needs to unset RSPEC_COLOR. $ unset RSPEC_COLOR $ spec path/to/spec file #= no color tags Cheers! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. ___ rspec-users mailing list rspec-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users

P. A. li...@ruby-forum.com on 2009-12-02 at 10:13: $ cucumber #= color output $ cucumber | less -R #= monochrome Ah now I see what you're saying. We're getting burned by this line: http://github.com/aslakhellesoy/cucumber/blob/master/lib/cucumber/formatter/ansicolor.rb#L20 Term::ANSIColor.coloring = false if !STDOUT.tty? and not ENV.has_key?(AUTOTEST) So, we can either feature request an override variable for this line, or perhaps there is a way to trick a program that STDOUT is actually a tty...?

Re: [rspec-users] color output?
feature request: I have a story with a bunch of different scenarios that vary by just one (or two) things. In fact, within the story I've written a method that sets up the common set of Givens, and another than checks for a common set of results, e.g. Scenario no User record do given_a_project_with_manager_logged_in And **system has no user**, Invitee do |username| User.find_by_email(make_email(username)).should be_nil end When inviting a new user, Invitee do |username| @invitee_email = make_email username post_via_redirect /projects/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ memberships, :email = @invitee_email, response.should be_success end then_user_should_be_successfully_invited end Actually that's kind of besides the point, except to say the scenarios may have a bunch of Givens, but only one or two change from one scenario to the next. So I've highlighted the thing thats different about this scenario with asterix (**system has no user**). The next scenario may say And **Invitee is registered but not a member of this project** Feature request: let me use color to highlight the text that describes whats different from one scenario to the next On Oct 2, 2007, at 11:34 AM, David Chelimsky wrote: On 10/2/07, David Chelimsky [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Not yet.
