colored log(back) for unit tests in two steps




The goal

Make my own stuff yellow, and keep the other stuff grey.



1. src/test/resources/logback.groovy
(modify the namespace you wanna highlight as your own)




2. Add this to your build.gradle (in addition to logback):
testCompile "org.fusesource.jansi:jansi:1.12"


Done.

Windows 10 - United States International AltGr No Dead Keys

I use US keyboard. However I loose my native æøå letters if I use standard US layout. AltGR No Dead Keys fixes this problem.
AltGR + z makes the "æ"
AltGr + l makes the "ø"
AltGr + w makes the "å"

Holding shift makes them uppercased.

I couldn't figure out how to use the .klc file I've used in previous Windows versions. So I ended up having to make a .msi installer in "Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator". Tedious stuff, so I decided to put it in my blog where I (and maybe you) can get it from in the future.








USIntNDK_amd64.msi


PS. You shouldn't trust executables from random blogs, like here. So honoring that best practice I recommend you use the .klc keyboard layout file and create the .msi using Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator yourself.
