Tibor Digana commented on SUREFIRE-1369:
----------------------------------------
We call {{System.setOut(...)}} in Java.
Is this what you call {{"redirected"}}?
We must do this in order to associate std/out/err with test method.
We do this around {{Provider}} and the provider itself decides whether the logs
go to console or to file {{target/surefire-reports/my.class-output.txt}}.
Is there any segmentation fault or an exception?
ANSI colors are under the control of Maven.
Here Surefire is only using high-level internal API to utilize low-level API
implemented in Maven.
Forked JVM does not have chance to use ANSI colors.
> No way to output ANSI colors when running under Surefire

> Key: SUREFIRE-1369
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SUREFIRE-1369
> Project: Maven Surefire
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Maven Surefire Plugin
> Affects Versions: 2.20
> Environment: Windows 10 64-bit, 10.0.14393
> Reporter: Gili
> Assignee: Tibor Digana
>
> I invoke the following native code from inside a unit test:
> {{GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo(GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE), &sbi)}}
> It fails with {{GetLastError() == ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE}} indicating that
> stdout has been redirected.
> I am blocked by the fact that it isn't possible to use ANSI colors under
> Windows when stdout has been redirected. I tried configuring Surefire with:
> {code}
> <forkCount>0</forkCount>
> <redirectTestOutputToFile>false</redirectTestOutputToFile>
> <useFile>false</useFile>
> <printSummary>false</printSummary>
> {code}
> but stdout is still getting redirected. Is it possible to configure Surefire
> to use the default stdout (connected to a terminal) without redirection?
> Expected behavior: Surefire shouldn't fork the JVM or redirect stdout when
> {{forkCount}} is zero and {{useFile}} is false.
