Calabash no colors in output

I have a Android device connected to my PC. Running a calabash test I use the following command:

calabash-android run <NAME>.apk features/<NAME>.feature

Doing so I always get the following error even so I have ANSICON installed.

*** WARNING: You must use ANSICON 1.31 or higher (https://github.com/adoxa/ansicon/) to get coloured output on Windows

There are also no colors (using MINGW32 on a 64bit-win having ANSICON installed running it with -p and -i).

$ ansicon.exe --help ANSICON by Jason Hood . Version 1.66 (21 September, 2013). Freeware. http://ansicon.adoxa.vze.com/

How can I make this work?

Any help would be appreciated!

Thank you!

Solution

  • I have not tried this, but I found this blog post that writes about the same problem http://qastuffs.blogspot.dk/2011/02/how-to-install-ansicon-for-cucumber-to.html So it could be worth a try.

    Copied from the blog

    Anyway, here are the steps on how to install ansicon.exe:

    1. Download and unzip the file from https://github.com/adoxa/ansicon/downloads
    2. open cmd and navigate to the unzipped folder
    3. Navigate to x64 (if you have a 64 bit machine) otherwise navigate to x86
    4. Type ansicon.exe -h and you will get the following: D:\Data\ansicon\x86>ansicon.exe -h ANSICON by Jason Hood . Version 1.32 (22 December, 2010). Freeware. http://ansicon.adoxa.cjb.net/

    Process ANSI escape sequences in Win32 console programs.

    ansicon -i|I | -u|U ansicon [-m[]] [-p | -e|E string | -t|T [file(s)] | program [args]]

    -i install - add ANSICON to the AutoRun entry (implies -p) -u uninstall - remove ANSICON from the AutoRun entry -I -U use local machine instead of current user -m use grey on black ("monochrome") or as default color -p
    hook into the parent process -e echo string -E
    echo string, don't append newline -t display files ("-" for stdin), combined as a single stream -T display files, name first, blank line before and after program run the specified program nothing run a new command processor, or display stdin if redirected

    is one or two hexadecimal digits; please use "COLOR /?" for details. 5. Execute 'ansicon.exe -i' to install and add ansicon to your Windows 6. Run your cucumber 0.10.0 test and you should get the coloured output result on Windows
