[rspec-users] Problem with colorized output in cygwin on Vista (was: RSpec Formats with Strange Characters)
Changing the name of this to hopefully catch the eye of other Vista/cygwin/rspec users.

[rspec-users] Problem with colorized output in cygwin on Vista (was: RSpec Formats with Strange Characters)
Brandon,
This was a tough one, although I still don''t have color on autospec
(only have color when running specs manually ), AND I forgot exactly
how the problem was solved, but hopefully this will get you in the
right direction.
1. here are two gems that may help:
gem install term-ansicolor
gem install win32console
and then for some reason I aded the following to my /cygdrive/c/
Users/<myusername>/irbrc file (I''m not sure if this is necessary
for
running specs, but you may want to try it).
require ''win32console''
2. finally installing and using the RXVT shell instead may have solved
the problem (again, I compleletely forgot)
You can find it in the "Shells" section of the CYGWIN installer.
Here are the three checks I used:
rxvt: VT102...
rxvt-unicode-X: An improved...
rxvt-unicode-common: An improved....
3. If you''re doing a lot of work on IRB, you may want to also install
Wirble and add a few more lines to your irbrc:
require ''wirble''
Wirble.init
Wirble.colorize
Wellp, hope this at least got you in the right direction...if you find
out how to colorize autospec, could you let me know?

Hi, Well the output on the console works fine, it''s when it is output to a text file when I see those characters.

So it sounds like there is a bug related to your specific environment. Would you please report that to http://rspec.lighthouseapp.com? In the mean time, as a workaround, just exclude the --color option and you should be fine.> > Brandon > >> -----Original Message----- >> From: rspec-users-bounces at rubyforge.org [mailto:rspec-users- >> bounces at rubyforge.org] On Behalf Of David Chelimsky >> Sent: Sunday, April 05, 2009 12:24 PM >> To: rspec-users >> Subject: [rspec-users] Problem with colorized output in cygwin on Vista >> (was: RSpec Formats with Strange Characters) >> >> Changing the name of this to hopefully catch the eye of other >> Vista/cygwin/rspec users. >> >> On Sun, Apr 5, 2009 at 9:45 AM, Brandon Olivares >> <programmer2188 at gmail.com> wrote: >> > >> > >> >> -----Original Message----- >> >> From: rspec-users-bounces at rubyforge.org [mailto:rspec-users- >> >> bounces at rubyforge.org] On Behalf Of aslak hellesoy >> >> Sent: Sunday, April 05, 2009 6:50 AM >> >> To: rspec-users >> >> Subject: Re: [rspec-users] RSpec Formats with Strange Characters >> >> >> >> >> >> Please describe your environment.

Hi, Thanks. Installing term-ansicolor worked. The console still shows the colors and the text files do not have strange characters.

[rspec-users] Problem with colorized output in cygwin on Vista (was: RSpec Formats with Strange Characters)
Hi, Nevermind that. I realized it works fine if I run rake spec, but not if I run script/autospec and only some of the examples run.
