I decided to wrap a couple test running commands for a project into a single
test:all mise task. It looked something like this:
[tasks."test:all"]
run = """
bundle exec rspec
yarn test run
"""
description = "Run all tests (RSpec and Vitest)"
depends = ["bundle-install", "node-install"]I can run this with mise run test:all and it works. However, there is a
glaring issue that immediately juts out. All of the test runner output is
uncolored text. I'm used to and strongly prefer greens (passes), reds (fails),
and yellows (skips) of test runner output.
The test runners lose the text coloring when run through mise because they
believe they are not running in interactive mode.
The expect tools (brew install expect) install with another binary called
unbuffer. unbuffer can coerce a
command to run in interactive mode. Prepending these test runner commands with
unbuffer will preserve the colors as the results are output to the terminal.
Here is the update test:all task:
[tasks."test:all"]
run = """
unbuffer bundle exec rspec
unbuffer yarn test run
"""
description = "Run all tests (RSpec and Vitest)"
depends = ["bundle-install", "node-install"]For some commands, it seems able to stream out (rather than buffer) the
results (e.g. with vitest). Whereas with rspec, the test suite runs to
completion and is then output to the terminal. I'm still investigating
streaming the rspec results.
