How to color unit tests with lib minitest or Test:Unit?

Question

I would like to have unit tests output color in my dev environment. However, I can\'t make it work on Linux (Debian and Ubuntu). When I include the following libs:

Answer 1

step 1 : use the latest version of the gem (I think it will be fixed in Ruby 1.9.3)

gem install minitest

step 2 : require "minitest/pride" on the command line, not in your code

ruby -rminitest/pride your_ruby_script.rb

.. and in your code simply require 'minitest/autorun'

require 'minitest/autorun'

If you use Rubymine, just add

-rminitest

in the default configuration of the tests. => the configuration would like

-e $stdout.sync=true;$stderr.sync=true;load($0=ARGV.shift) -rminitest/pride
