How do I enable color when running RSpec through RStakeout?

When using topfunky's RStakeout, the color in the result of the spec command is lost. This happens even when adding the --color flag.

I was able to get it to work with --tty in my .rspec file (use Rails 3.0.3 and rspec 2.3). I think it's --autotest for older version of 2.0. After an hour of searching, found it here - https://github.com/tomas-stefano/infinity_test

You have to set the environment variable AUTOTEST to true. Spec detects whether it is being run by a process and disables color if it is (to make the output easier to parse).

To set the environment variable in bash:

export AUTOTEST=true

or in fish:

set -x AUTOTEST true

(the -x exports the variable)
