Colortape: Tape/node-tap Test Output Colorizer

JSON →
library 0.1.2 ·javascript abandoned
verified May 27, 2026

Colortape is a command-line utility designed to add color to the test output of `tape` and `node-tap` JavaScript testing frameworks. It functions either as a direct wrapper for the test command, executing the test file and formatting its output, or by accepting the raw test output via a pipe. The package is currently at version 0.1.2, which was last published over seven years ago, indicating an abandoned status with no active development or maintenance. Its primary differentiator is its singular focus on colorizing output for these specific testing libraries, providing a simple, albeit unmaintained, solution for visual enhancement of test results without modifying the underlying test runners. Due to its abandonment, users should be aware of potential compatibility issues with newer Node.js versions or `tape`/`node-tap` releases, and the absence of security updates.
