Getting Spring Boot color console logging working within Intellij?

Has anyone figured out how to get color output working within Intellij Idea for a Spring Boot application?

Solution

  • Using a Mac, Intellij Idea 14 and Spring Boot v1.2.2.RELEASE, all you have to do is set:

    spring.output.ansi.enabled=ALWAYS

    I have added this as a VM option (-Dspring.output.ansi.enabled=ALWAYS). Works great!
