“--color off” not woking after 6.0.0 upgrade

1. Newman Version: Gone from 5.something to 6.0.0
2. OS details:
   • Local machine: Xubuntu 20.04, x86_64
   • CI/CD machine: Amazon Linux 2, x86_64
3. Using Newman via the CLI, npm install -g newman.
4. Encountered this recently.
5. Expected behaviour: No color when asked, as in v5.
6. Command / script used to run Newman: Any newman run command, even with a dummy collection: newman run --color off <(echo '{}')

Today I noticed that part of our CI/CD was broken due to a regex not matching anything. It turned out that our Newman logs were suddenly full of color-related control characters, despite --color off --disable-unicode being used:

I could reproduce this on my machine: even with --color off, the final summary (table + failure list) is colorized:

I’ve seen old tickets mentioning --no-color but it seems that it does not exist (at least in v6) for run.

I`ve seen the same behavior in Jenkins console. Could fix the issue please?

Same here, jenkins console output is unreadable.

This is fixed in Newman v6.1.2.

Thank you @yardenshoham for the fix. 🙌🏻

Thanks. I guess they’re watching the issues even when they’re silent. 😆
