Daniel Beland commented on MNG-6220:
------------------------------------

I'm sorry to say but it is not working and the test is wrong.

The test goes (MavenCliTest.java):


{code:java}
        MessageUtils.setColorEnabled( true );
        request = new CliRequest( new String[] { "-Dstyle.color=never" }, null 
);
        cli.cli( request );
        cli.properties( request );
        cli.logging( request );
        assertFalse( MessageUtils.isColorEnabled() );
{code}

While the real code goes (MavenCli.java):

{code:java}
try
        {
            initialize( cliRequest );
            cli( cliRequest );
            logging( cliRequest );
            version( cliRequest );
            properties( cliRequest );
            localContainer = container( cliRequest );
            commands( cliRequest );
            configure( cliRequest );
            toolchains( cliRequest );
            populateRequest( cliRequest );
            encryption( cliRequest );
            repository( cliRequest );
            return execute( cliRequest );
        }
{code}

cli.logging is called before cli.properties while the test was calling them in 
a different order.
When I debug maven the userProperties is always empty and then default value of 
auto is assumed for the color logging.

>
> Currently, the only way to enable/disable color output is to use the 
> batch-mode or log-file options.
> If a user wants colored output but no interactivity (ie: jenkins environment 
> with the ansicolor plugin), there is no CLI option combination to support the 
> use-case.
> I propose to add an option to control output coloring directly.
> {noformat}
> --color=enabled <- color output always enabled
> --color=disabled <- color output always disabled
> --color=auto <- current behavior (default)
> {noformat}
