[Feature request] Colorized output when run in CI

[fkromer]

When running pytest and allowing fails (e.g. --maxfail) having a colorized output (like e.g. pylint provides via the -f colorized command line option) could be helpful to find the reasons for fails (assert) more easily. This does not work for me when running pytest via gitlab-runner.

GitMate.io thinks possibly related issues are #1749 (Feature request: doctest report format as an option), #2987 (Feature request: use caplog with custom formatter), #1237 (Requesting --capture option to not display all captured output to stdout on test failure), #714 (Request the feature to apply indirect=True on particular argnames), and #1478 (Feature Request: --capture=hide to hide stdout/stderr from the terminal).

do you mean pytest --color=always ?

[fkromer]

did not know about that. pytest --color=yes worked for me just fine.
