Preserving colorized output about parallelshell

[keithamus]

Thanks @danawoodman for the issue. Parallelshell should just pipe the output down without issue - so should support colour fine. What are you seeing, no colours or loads of gibberish? If no colours it could be some kind of colour detection from the program you're using - which we should be able to trick into showing colours. What program are you using that is not showing colours?

Thanks for the quick reply!

I'm seeing the following when running parrallelshell 'mocha':

...where as if I run Mocha directly I get:

I'm using iTerm2 to display the output.

Seems like mocha is checking tty.isatty(1) && tty.isatty(2) in the base reporter. I believe we'd just need to trick it into believing that parallelshell's stdin and out are ttys.

@keithamus would using spawn work instead of exec?

Yay! 👍

I'm now getting the following exception locally:

$ ./node_modules/parallelshell/index.js
./node_modules/parallelshell/index.js: line 1: use strict: command not found
./node_modules/parallelshell/index.js: line 2: syntax error near unexpected token `('
./node_modules/parallelshell/index.js: line 2: `var spawn = require('child_process').spawn;'

Any thoughts?

Nevermind, I was running it directly on the command line rather than running through Node
