Using the turn gem with Test::Unit

Question

I'm using Turn gem in a rails app to colourise my Test::Unit output, and I find the following output before any of my tests run:

stephen@x5:~/code/ruby$ rake test
gem install minitest
gem install minitest
... tests seem to run just fine, and are nicely coloured

This happens everytime I run them. What is the deal here? Am I supposed to be using minitest instead of Test::Unit?

What is the best way to colourise Test::Unit output? Just looking for red and green.

gem 'redgreen' worked great for me (on Ruby 1.9.2 and Rails 3.0.7) with Test::Unit.

Add the above to your Gemfile.

Thanks, I gave that a shot earlier today, right before I decided to switch back to rspec! I'll try test::unit again, in another life, perhaps. A long time from now. :) – stephenmurdoch Oct 21 '12 at 22:13
I actually switched to RSpec about 4 months ago...it seems to be more popular than Test::Unit. – B Seven Oct 21 '12 at 23:22
