Mocha colored-reporters support

[marc2332]

I have been trying for my self, but I can't get working any colored mocha reporter, I mean, it displays the text, but not the colors.

I know electron-mocha uses https://nodejs.org/dist/latest-v12.x/docs/api/console.html to print in to the main process, but it doesn't print the colors.

Any thoughts on this?

What Terminal do you use? I have no issues getting colored output from mocha reporters using various Terminals on Linux, Mac OS and Windows. The CI reports of the project also have colors on all three platforms.

I am using Windows Terminal Preview ( I have also tried with CMD ).

Here is a project using mocha directly:

And here my project using electron-mocha:

Both of them use the same reporter, but with electron-mocha, it doesn't output the colors, I have also tried other themes and happens the same.

My project is https://github.com/Graviton-Code-Editor/Graviton-App in case you want to try it by yourself

It's probably bug of Electron on Windows, see electron/electron#15727 (closed) and electron/electron#27170 (active).

i've got the same locally on linux. No colors.

when printing exports.useColors from mocha it says true, but when looking at exports.useColors in the color function (just before test reporter output) it is false.
