Chef colored output in Jenkins

I'm running unit tests in Jenkins with chef.

chef exec rake unit

Everything is working correctly except there is not any colored output.

I have enabled AnsiColor Plugin Jenkins plugin and am getting colored output for non chef tests just fine.

Are there additional steps in order to get chef's output colored in Jenkins?

Solution

  • You can force this on the RSpec command line with --color. Or because you're wrapping that in a Rake command, add it in your Rake task. (or in a .rspecrc file)
