I'm having problems similar to this question, so I know how to make the text reappear after it disappears: just type "stty echo" or "reset." But how do I prevent it from happening in the first place? Why does it happen?
Update 10/24/15: I figured out the issue. Whenever I was using binding.pry and exited it with CTRL-C, the problem occurred. Now I exit binding.pry the "legal" way, by typing "exit!", and I haven't had invisible text since then.
You may have a look at your configuration file first in your User Home Directory path ~/.rspec or see in root of your project if you have a file called .rspec if you're using mac that these files are actually hidden. Rspec version 3 there is another file called .rspec-local in root of your application. You should view or edit any files and see what configurations they have:
Try changing these configurations:
--no-color to --color
The rest are as follows which I don't think you should change them:
--format progress
--no-profile
--no-fail-fast
--order defined
You can change them to:
--format documentation
--profile
--fail-fast
--order random
If you do not have any of these files you might want to create a file in your user directory and open it with a text editor and add --color to it.
