add colors when running composer

[katmai]

hey guys so this is kinda an odd request. i know i sorted this problem a while ago but i totally forgot how to do it now.

i have this new centos7 server screencast.com/t/jA8z205a - where when running "composer" the display is all black and white, and i have this other server:

screencast.com/t/dZJI7eIHa - where the display is colored and the composer running commands output is colored.

i setup the second server too and i know i enabled something but i honest to god don't remember what i did to have composer colored display.

can someone give me a hint? ill be in your debt.

Hello,

I'm happy to see you were able to find the answer to your question. Thank you for updating us with the outcome.

I am still curious how you guys are doing it on cPanel though, because the way i did it was create a script that runs composer --ansi whenever i type "composer", however i see that on my cpanel box where there's composer, the colors show without me forcing --ansi :

You can review Composer's installation file to see how they have it configured by default at:

getcomposer.org/installer at master · composer/getcomposer.org · GitHub

EX:

/**
 * Sets the USE_ANSI define for colorizing output
 *
 * @param array $argv Command-line arguments
 */
function setUseAnsi($argv)
{
    // --no-ansi wins over --ansi
    if (in_array('--no-ansi', $argv)) {
        define('USE_ANSI', false);
    } elseif (in_array('--ansi', $argv)) {
        define('USE_ANSI', true);
    } else {
        // On Windows, default to no ANSI, except in ANSICON and ConEmu.
        // Everywhere else, default to ANSI if stdout is a terminal.
        define(
            'USE_ANSI',
            (DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR == '\\')
                ? (false !== getenv('ANSICON') || 'ON' === getenv('ConEmuANSI'))
                : (function_exists('posix_isatty') && posix_isatty(1))
        );
    }
}
