DESCRIPTION

The aim of capistrano_colors is to make the capistrano output more userfriendly. When capistrano_colors is included in your deploy.rb capistrano output gets nice and shiny colors.

This gem is a fork of the original capistrano_colors by Mathias Stjernström with some small changes to work with ree and rvm.

INSTALLATION

sudo gem install darkside_capistrano_colors

USAGE

Creating you own color matchers

Create a custom colormatcher with the colorize command.
colorize can be called with a hash of options or an array of hashes.

The options hash should have the following fields.

* :match     - A regular expression of the row to match.
* :color     - The color we want on the matching rows.
* :prio      - What prio should this rule have (higher = more prio)
* :attribute - Special effect (:underline, :reverse, :blink)
* :level     - Specify if this matcher should be bound to some of capistranos log levels (info,debug,...)

match

:match is a simple regular expression for the row that should be matched.

color

:color can have the following values:

* :hide  (hides the row completely)
* :none
* :black
* :red
* :green
* :yellow
* :blue
* :magenta
* :cyan
* :white

prio

:prio is a Integer defining the matchers prio.

attribute

:attribute can have the following values:

* :bright
* :dim
* :underscore
* :blink
* :reverse
* :hidden

Example

require 'capistrano_colors'    

capistrano_color_matchers = [
  { :match => /command finished/,       :color => :hide,      :prio => 10 },
  { :match => /executing command/,      :color => :blue,      :prio => 10, :attribute => :underscore },
  { :match => /^transaction: commit$/,  :color => :magenta,   :prio => 10, :attribute => :blink },
  { :match => /git/,                    :color => :white,     :prio => 20, :attribute => :reverse },
