Hervé Boutemy commented on MNG-6242: ------------------------------------ forcing color from Maven side is not an option: the option is to fix JAnsi Did you open an issue or even a PR against JAnsi? We'll integrate fixed JAnsi release. Notice that for future Maven 3.5.1, we already integrated a new JAnsi release that should fix some issues: did you check if Maven 3.5.1-SNAPSHOT is ok in your conditions? > No color for maven on Cygwin > ---------------------------- > > Key: MNG-6242 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MNG-6242 > Project: Maven > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Command Line > Affects Versions: 3.5.0 > Environment: Cygwin. For example, my uname currently says: > CYGWIN_NT-10.0 Beren 2.8.0(0.309/5/3) 2017-04-01 20:47 x86_64 Cygwin > Reporter: Brian Oxley > Priority: Minor > > Full description and workaround here: > https://binkley.blogspot.com/2017/04/maven-color-logging-on-cygwin.html > In short: the JANSI library used in Maven 3.5.0 does not detect Cygwin, and > falls back to no color. There is a workaround (Zart Colwing): Add > {{-Djansi.passthrough=true}} to {{MAVEN_OPTS}}. > As the mvn script understands Cygwin, it would be helpful to add the > passthrough flag automatically. (Of course, there may need to be some smarts > about batch and logging modes, and checking if stdout is a console vs > pipeline.) > Apologies: I'm unsure how to issue a PR for the maven repo. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
