Does it Even Work?

Create a job in Jenkins that executes the following shell script. Don't forget to check the "Color the ANSI Console Output" option.

#!/bin/bash
echo -e "\e[31mHello World\e[0m"
echo -e "Normal \e[1mBold\e[0m"
echo -e "Normal \e[4mUnderlined\e[0m"

Check out this guide for more examples.

Supported ANSI Color Codes

Only the standard ANSI Color Codes are supported for both foreground and background colors. "High Intensity" colors in the 90-109 range are non-standard are not supported. The colorize ruby library, for example, emits high intensity codes when using the "light" color options.

See issue #16 for a sample of non-standard output.

Colorizing Ruby RSpec Output

RSpec formatters detect whether RSpec is running in a terminal or not, therefore suppressing color output under Jenkins. Specify --colour in your .rspec file or options, along with the following setup in spec_helper.rb.

RSpec.configure do |config|
 config.tty = true
end
