Add ansiColor as an option

Instead of wrapping each of the stage() { steps { } } of my Jenkinsfile pipeline with ansiColor('xterm'), is it possible to declare it as a pipeline options https://jenkins.io/doc/book/pipeline/syntax/#options ?

I’m aware that this might require a change deep within Jenkins core, and out of the control of this plugin.

For me ansiColor('xterm') is working as an option. But I had to add some additional Maven configuration in order to get colored Maven output:

pipeline {
    agent {
        label 'my-build-node'
    }

    options {
        ansiColor('xterm')
    }

    environment {
        MAVEN_OPTS = '-Djansi.force=true'
    }

    stages {
        stage('Example') {
            steps {
                sh "./mvnw -Dstyle.color=always -B verify"
            }
        }
    }
}

I would like also to confirm that

options {
    ansiColor('xterm')
}

works. Having this example on:

• https://jenkins.io/doc/book/pipeline/syntax/#options
• https://plugins.jenkins.io/ansicolor

would be great.

If I’m right then

• Jenkins Syntax uses this data: https://github.com/jenkins-infra/jenkins.io/edit/master/content//doc/book/pipeline/syntax.adoc
• https://plugins.jenkins.io/ansicolor displays the same information as https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/AnsiColor+Plugin
