This has the problem of inserting color coding into the output even if stdout is not a terminal, or some kind of printer capable of understanding color sequences. Most CI/CD pipelines run outside of a terminal, so this would make the output difficult to read. |
Perhaps a similar approach to package main
import (
"testing"
"github.com/stretchr/testify/require"
)
func init() {
require.SetFlags(require.Fcolorize)
}
func TestMyFunc(t *testing.T) {
require.Equal(t, "Foo", "Bar")
} |

This PR adds support for colorized output, with minimal extra dependencies. - Actual / Expected in equal colorized - Diff output is colorized It is enabled with the specific extra blank import: _ "github.com/go-openapi/testify/enable/colors/v2" When enabled, colorized output is: * enabled by go test flag -testify.colorize * or by environment variable TESTIFY_COLORIZE=true By default, colors are chose to be rendered on a dark terminal. You may use darker colors on a bright terminal with: * go test flag -testify.colorize -testify.theme=light * or by environment variable TESTIFY_THEME=light This work is inspired and adapts the following PRs: * github.com/stretchr#1467 * github.com/stretchr#1480 * github.com/stretchr#1232 * github.com/stretchr#994 Signed-off-by: Frederic BIDON <fredbi@yahoo.com>
