RSpec and Autotest output not getting coloured red / green and has formatting tags surrounding it.
Created attachment 48088 [details] Bug description and sample output
Fixed in build #3660 on http://deadlock.netbeans.org/hudson/job/ruby/. Unfortunately, the output window can't show colors. I did however fix things such that the Ruby support (a) removes the formatting tags from the output such that it's legible, and (b) doesn't get confused by the formatting tags when recognizing error summaries. Thus, the editor should now recognize error summaries and properly post results in the footer. I hope that color input isn't as important in the output window since the overall summary is displayed in color in the editor; if you Ctrl-F6 your spec file (Test File) then you get a red summary in the editor footer if there are failures, and a green summary if things are okay. (There is an existing request, issue 106141, tracking the ability to write colored output to the embedded output window. There is also another related issue to configuring spec for execution under NetBeans, issue 101997.) P.S. I have unit tests now containing rspec output with formatting tags, and those pass, but it would be great if you can confirm that this actually works in the wild with rspec.
