Description

In an attempt to eliminate the possibility of a trivial regression, tests should be included to verify that

  • Success messages are output to the console with a green colour; and,
  • error messages are output to the console with a red colour!

I haven't included these tests as I'm not yet sure how to go about testing this.

The module I use to colourize the output namely, Chalk, does so by emitting ANSI escape codes however, the terminal interprets these ANSI escape codes before I can evaluate them. Hm :confused:.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how to test ANSI escape codes emitted by Chalk in terminal output. Consider using `strip ansi` to remove color codes and assert that the output contains expected colors, or mock chalk to return specific strings.
