Rails - Aug 2007 - RSpec: "--color" not working in spec.opts when combined with "--drb"

Windows XP SP 2
ruby 1.8.5

gems:
rails 1.2.3
rake 0.7.3
win32console 1.0.8

plugins:
rspec 1.0.8
rspec_rails 1.0.8

spec.opts:
--colour
--format
progress
--loadby
mtime
--reverse
--drb

When I run "rake spec" or "ruby script/spec spec --color"
this is the
output:

D:\dev\project>rake spec
(in D:/dev/project)
←[32m.←[0m←[32m.←[0m←[32m.←[0m←[32m.←[0m←[32m.←[0m←[32m.←[0m←[32m.←[0m←[32m.←[0m
←[32m.←[0m←[32m.←[0m←[32m.←[0m

Finished in 0.172 seconds

←[32m11 examples, 0 failures←[0m


If I remove "--drb" from the spec.opts file it runs fine (but slower).

I''m having the same problem. Also, "rake spec"
doesn''t connect to my
running spec_server, but "ruby script/spec spec/models --drb" does. Do
you have that this problem too?

I''m running:
Vista
ruby 1.8.6
rails 1.2.3
rake 0.7.3
win32console 1.0.8
rspec 1.0.8.
same spec.opts

I''m not having an issue with "rake spec" not connecting to
spec_sever.

Could it be an issue with Vista?

Ok disregard the rake spec not connecting to spec_server thing - I
wasn''t using it properly.

I found a workaround to get colour and drb working together:

Add "require ''Win32/Console/ANSI''" before the last
line in your spec
file and change the STDOUT parameter in the last line to $stdout.

So <project>/script/spec should look like this:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
$LOAD_PATH.unshift(File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__) + "/../
vendor/plugins/rspec/lib"))
require ''spec''
require ''Win32/Console/ANSI''
::Spec::Runner::CommandLine.run(ARGV, STDERR, $stdout, true, true)

It''s not perfect. The first run will print the output to the console
that spec_server is running in. All subsequent runs will print to the
correct console though. I couldn''t figure out why it was doing this
but the way it works is good enough for me.

I did notice that this fix will suppress any output when using
autotest.

I haven''t tried autotest yet but I''d like to - it sounds
awesome. I''ll
try it tonight and see if I get any output. I also posted that
workaround as a comment to the bug in rspec''s tracker. Hopefully
they''ll fix it properly soon.
