Get real time console test output (with colors) for mocha in AWS lambda environment

[Hal Armstrong]

I've had great success in using mocha / expect.js in the linux console environment.  We are now migrating some applications to AWS lambda.

I saw some "how to" articles on how to stage/deploy npm and user-written library packages to lambda, but it is not clear to me how to get a console window to monitor testing as it happens.

Is there an npm package to emulate the console window?  Is there a tunneling trick?

I was hoping to have a console outputting something like the spec reporter but the node.js, mocha, etc. are all running in AWS lambda.

Something probably exists but maybe I am using the wrong search terms (hope so anyway).  Any tips would be appreciated.
