Rspec not displaying colours

Question

I'm running Rspec 2.0.0rc on Windows 7. I am also running the win32console gem (1.3.0 x86-mingw32).

The colours aren't being displayed - everything is showing up in boring old white/grey.

What am I doing wrong?

Edit: I also tried Rspec 2.0.0. and had the same problem

Answer 1

Under normall installation of rspec gems, you should get the colored output. I am not sure which version of gem you are using.

There is one more solution.

While running rspec give the command like this

spec --color  sometestfile.rb

--color options is important here

Answer 2

RSpec 2 has been officially released today, perhaps try upgrading?

Answer 3

Finally sorted this out by uninstalling all the gems relating to RSpec and Win32Console. Reinstalled (and specified 2.0.0 for RSpec) and everything worked.
