@parsonsmatt this is ready to go.

Just so I understand correctly - this skips the hedgehog color check and instead uses the hspec --color and --no-color options, where --no-color strips out the ANSI codes.

Hedgehog's detectColor function does some other logic, though, like HEDGEHOG_COLOR env var check and ensuring the logged in user isn't mth lol.

I feel like we can retain the functionality here with a much broader range of hspec versions by detecting color as-is, and then use CPP to use either Reason or ColorizedReason.

I'm hesitant to force consumers to upgrade to the latest hspec versions only for this

Correct.

If I understand you correctly, then no, I don't think that would solve my use case. If I specify --color and e.g. redirect stdout then detectColor will return False. As a consequence I will end up without colors, even though I requested them.

Do you think there is any tangible benefit from doing this, that is relevant enough to offsets the additional complexity? Note that existing users can continue to use 0.0.1.2 with older versions of hspec.

@parsonsmatt any chance to get this merged sometime soon? Maintaining and using my private fork, which is not on Hackage, will eventually be too much overhead for me.

Sure - please make a version bump and changelog entry and I'll have it released asap. Thanks!

Done as a separate PR (#27) to not unnecessarily cause conflicts.
