Formatted color output when running ScalaTest via sbt

[Bill Venners]

Hi All,

I've deployed a ScalaTest branch that gives the nicely formatted,
color output from sbt that you can get from the command line. The
branch is here:

http://www.scala-tools.org/repo-snapshots/org/scalatest/scalatest/1.2.1-SNAPSHOT/

You can use the following code in your sbt project file to get it:

val scalaToolsSnapshots = ScalaToolsSnapshots
val scalatest = "org.scalatest" % "scalatest" % "1.2.1-SNAPSHOT"

You can configure the output in three ways: 1) turn off color, 2) show
full stack traces, and 3) show durations for everything. To do that
you need to add:

override def testOptions = super.testOptions ++
Seq(TestArgument(TestFrameworks.ScalaTest, "-oD"))

D - show durations
F - show full stack traces
W - without color

So "-oDF" would show complete stack traces and durations (the amount
of time spent in each test).

Please let me know if you have any trouble with it.

Thanks.

Hi Bill,

First of all, thank you for the great work!

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but my problem is the
following. I'm trying to run specs test with the 1.2.1-SNAPSHOT
ScalaTest and SBT as explained here
http://code.google.com/p/specs/wiki/RunningSpecs#Run_your_specification_with_Scala_Test

I have added the ScalaTest trait to my specification, and my project
setup in SBT is:

val specs = "org.scala-tools.testing" % "specs_2.8.0" % "1.6.5"

val scalaToolsSnapshots = ScalaToolsSnapshots
val scalatest = "org.scalatest" % "scalatest" % "1.2.1-SNAPSHOT"

override def testOptions = super.testOptions ++

Seq(TestArgument(TestFrameworks.ScalaTest, "-oDF"))

When I run the test command, SBT actually runs tests with both specs
and ScalaTest runners. However, the output from ScalaTest is not
colored and durations are not shown. I'm not sure what is the reason,
is it because SBT doesn't use the snapshot of ScalaTest? Or the test
options are not passed in? Is it possible to have a colored output in
the Windows console?

Thank you,
Anton

Hi Anton,

I don't know what's going on, but if it was using 1.2.1-SNAPSHOT it
should come out in color by default. Perhaps specs has a dependency on
an older version of ScalaTest that's getting used?

Bill,

Thank you for the quick reply! I've tried to convert my tests to
ScalaTest and run them in SBT using the snapshot version of ScalaTest.
It works and the durations are shown; however, the output is still not
colored. Is it because I'm using Windows' console?

Thanks,
Anton
