this is probably something really stupid but I can’t work it out.

I upgraded my version of cucumber to v 0.10.0 and now the test’s (running on Win 7) are not showing coloured output with the “pretty” formatter.

When tests are run it prints this error: *** WARNING: You must use ANSICON 1.31 or higher (http://adoxa.110mb.com/ansicon) to get coloured output on Windows

I have been to http://adoxa.110mb.com/ansicon but it’s not obvious to me how I should be upgrading it. Anyone know how to upgrade my version of anscion?

    One of the dev’s at my work figured it out.

    You need to

    1. Download Ansicon from https://github.com/adoxa/ansicon/downloads and unzip it into a directory
      with no spaces
    2. Open a command prompt and cd to the folder where you unzipped it
    3. Now, cd into either x86 or x64 (depending on your machine’s processor) and install it globally on
      your machine (For example, D:\Cucumber\ansi160\x64)
    4. Type ansicon.exe –i OR ansicon -i and press Enter
    5. Any program that prints ANSI colors will now display properly on your machine.
