No colors in gulp output

In a custom task, chalk seems enabled.

console.log(gutil.colors.enabled);
console.log(gutil.colors.supportsColor);

But core gulp output will not be coloured, like this one.

I still can force with gulp --color argument, but this is not very friendly.

Am I missing something there?

After investigations, it boils down to the “supports-colors” package checking “process.stdout.isTTY” which is false under minTTY (on windows 10, not sure about other windows versions) but true under cmd.exe, you can workaround this by setting a FORCE_COLOR environment variable.

The root issue seems to be discussed in here: https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/3006 and perhaps here https://github.com/mintty/mintty/issues/56

@guillaume86 Thanks a lot, Setting FORCE_COLOR in my environment helped me to workaround the win10 problem.
