Description
aha stands for "ANSI HTML Adapter," and it's a command-line utility that can convert ANSI and ASCII escape sequences to HTML code. This can be especially useful for rendering colored terminal outputs (like from ls --color or colored log files) in a web-friendly format.This test case ensures that the aha utility can effectively convert ANSI-colored terminal output into an HTML format.
Setup
Ensure that the 
ahasudo dnf install aha.
How to test
- Open a terminal.
- Generate some ANSI-colored output, for example:
ls --color=always. - Pipe this output to
ahaand redirect it to an HTML file: `ls --color=always | aha > output.html`. - Open
output.htmlin a web browser.
Expected Results
- The
ahacommand should execute without any errors. - The
output.htmlfile should be generated in the current directory. - Upon opening the
output.htmlfile in a web browser, the terminal's colored output (from thelscommand) should be accurately represented in color, with the same colors being preserved from the terminal to the browser.
Optional
For more advanced testing, try using aha with various terminal outputs that include different ANSI sequences, not just colors. This might include bold text, underlined text, or others. Ensure the HTML representation matches the original terminal output in style and appearance.
