Keep color output when running scripts on composer

Question

Composer allow running scripts, as said in defining scripts.

So, I'm trying to run some spec tests with it.

{
    "scripts": {
        "test": "./vendor/davedevelopment/dspec/bin/dspec"
    },
    "require-dev": {
        "esperance/esperance": "dev-master",
        "davedevelopment/dspec": "dev-master"
    }
}

It runs fine, but there is no color output, and for spec tests this difficults the reading.

How can I run the scripts but keep the original colored output?

Use the --ansi param.

"test": "./vendor/davedevelopment/dspec/bin/dspec --ansi"
