How do I turn off the colors in Laravel's PHPUnit task?
ansi-colors, laravel, php, phpunit
Solution
The file \laravel\cli\tasks\test\stub.xml is used to generate the PhpUnit configuration file for tests. (A new configuration file is generated and deleted every time you run an artisan test task.) To turn off colors, change the first line of stub.xml from `<phpunit colors="true"` to `<phpunit colors="false"` (for Laravel 3)
Update: For Laravel 4, the file is `phpunit.xml` and is found in the root folder. The change is still to set `colors="false"`.
Problem
I'm testing under Windows and the command prompt doesn't do so well with the ANSI color codes that appear by default. How can I turn off the color display when I'm using Laravel?
