I'm working with pytest and have keybindings set up to run all the tests in the specific file I'm working on. The command I run is:

:! pytest -vs "<C-r>%"

However, the output of this bash command has no colour! Is it possible to have the coloured output you would get in a regular terminal inside the bash command output of neovim? I'd rather not run :term if possible.

I can add images if required.

Thanks.

    Did you try --color=yes, as per $ pytest --help?

  • I just did and i got an output like this: ^[[32mPASSED^[[0m. I'm assuming the nvim output can't represent the colours implied by those symbols.

  • Yes. I know you said that you don't want :term but it would work better.

  • would it be possible to pipe a command into the :term and have it run automatically?

For anyone looking for an answer to this, I figured out a workaround.

First, you need a command to split a :term into a regular split:

command! -nargs=* T split | terminal <args>

You can change this to a vsplit if you'd like.

Now, you can update your test shortcut to use that command:

autocmd FileType python nnoremap <leader>test :w<CR>:T pytest -vs "<C-r>%"<CR>

This works for me, and the terminal that opened can be closed with :q.

  • This must be NeoVim specific, because in Vim :terminal does split automatically.
