From 55ce638d6ac8859c73712801a00e664e981decaf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: garfieldnate Date: Fri, 17 Jan 2014 17:50:11 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] document that color is not default on Windows Since colored output is not the default on Windows platforms, this should be documented. I changed `(default)` to `(usually default)` because there are two exceptions to the rule of color being default, and I think it would be better to direct users to read further documentation before assuming that color is always the default (and `(default except on Windows or with non-terminal output)` was too long). --- bin/prove | 8 ++++---- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/bin/prove b/bin/prove index 968fa731..b96b9eb7 100755 --- a/bin/prove +++ b/bin/prove @@ -27,7 +27,7 @@ Boolean options: -b, --blib Add 'blib/lib' and 'blib/arch' to the path for your tests -s, --shuffle Run the tests in random order. - -c, --color Colored test output (default). + -c, --color Colored test output (usually default). --nocolor Do not color test output. --count Show the X/Y test count when not verbose (default) @@ -107,9 +107,9 @@ matching the pattern C. =head2 Colored Test Output -Colored test output using L is the default, but -if output is not to a terminal, color is disabled.
