How to output ANSI colors about grype

[willmurphyscode]

Hi @DavidPerezIngeniero,

You can set CLICOLOR_FORCE=true in the environment to force Grype to color the output even in non-TTY invocations, though you might see some unexpected behavior depending on what shell control characters as supported in your Jenkins environment.

By design, Grype detects that it's being run outside a TTY and doesn't color output (or generate the progress bars or anything) because it thinks it's being redirected to a file, or to another program that won't know how to interpret the control characters. This is why, for example grype <something> | grep <some pattern> works without <some pattern> needing to know about the bytes that tell the shell to change color.

Please let us know if this doesn't solve your problem.
