Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #13395: Boost Test does not use BOOST_TEST_COLOR_OUTPUT https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/13395 <p> Boost Test help describes option to get colored output. When using --color_output=yes or -x on the command line I get colored output as expected, but the help also describes an environment variable BOOST_TEST_COLOR_OUTPUT. This does not seem to work, and a quick glance at the code doesn't seem to show this string used anywhere other than the documentation options. </p> en-us Boost C++ Libraries /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/13395 Trac 1.4.3 Raffi Enficiaud Wed, 17 Jan 2018 19:48:40 GMT <link>https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/13395#comment:1 </link> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/13395#comment:1</guid> <description> <p> The string <code>BOOST_TEST_COLOR_OUTPUT</code> is in the file <code>include/boost/test/impl/unit_test_parameters.ipp</code>, and I believe it is used. Would you please check again? How do you run your binary with this env variable? </p> </description> <category>Ticket</category> </item> <item> <dc:creator>Raffi Enficiaud</dc:creator> <pubDate>Mon, 22 Jan 2018 19:49:47 GMT</pubDate> <title>cc set https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/13395#comment:2 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/13395#comment:2 <ul> <li><strong>cc</strong> <span class="trac-author">Raffi Enficiaud</span> added </li> </ul> <p> Kind reminder </p> Ticket Raffi Enficiaud Tue, 26 Jun 2018 13:38:25 GMT status changed; resolution set https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/13395#comment:3 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/13395#comment:3 <ul> <li><strong>status</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">new</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">closed</span> </li> <li><strong>resolution</strong> → <span class="trac-field-new">worksforme</span> </li> </ul> <p> I just checked the code of 1.63 and 1.68 (in prep) and this </p> <pre class="wiki">BOOST_TEST_COLOR_OUTPUT=0 smoke-ts-included BOOST_TEST_COLOR_OUTPUT=1 smoke-ts-included BOOST_TEST_COLOR_OUTPUT= smoke-ts-included BOOST_TEST_COLOR_OUTPUT=yes smoke-ts-included BOOST_TEST_COLOR_OUTPUT=no smoke-ts-included </pre><p> is working as expected.
