It helps get into the natural "red, green, refactor" rhythm.
I'm currently totally immersed in Django, and greatly miss the lack of colour support within the "test" management command. A simple workaround for this is to use Fabric with a few modified color commands. Your fabric file should include the following:
from fabric.colors import _wrap_with
green_bg = _wrap_with('42')
red_bg = _wrap_with('41')
# Set the list of apps to test
env.test_apps = "app1 app2"
def test():
with settings(warn_only=True):
result = local('./manage.py test %(test_apps)s --settings=settings_test -v 2 --failfast' % env, capture=False)
if result.failed:
print red_bg("Some tests failed")
else:
print
print green_bg("All tests passed - have a banana!")
You can choose your own success and failure messages.
Now we have lovely colors while doing TDD in Django:
