I’m running JRuby for some Rails development and I’ve noticed some
quirks
with script/console as well as when running various rake tasks.
For example, running an RSpec test, this is what my output looks like:
e[32m.e[0m
Finished in 0.484 seconds
e[32m1 example, 0 failurese[0m
(there are some other funny characters in there not being shown by the
forum)
And often times inside of script/console my prompt till turn to ?> for
no
apparent reason and options like @p.to_yaml will print without carriage
returns and such.
Any thoughts or ideas on how I can beautify my console output so it
should
act appropriately?
I’m using cmd.exe in Windows as that’s what I’m limited to at the
moment…

Those are ANSI color escape sequences – you can turn them off by
removing the --colour option in your spec.opts file.

There’s a known issue with the Rails script/console where the prompt
often will print before the output from the previous command. I
haven’t been able to track down why that happens
