| # FIXME: this test doesn't work because of some interaction between the | ||
| # `script` command and colorama. The output includes a color reset char at | ||
| # the end despite using colorama.init(autoreset=False). | ||
| # script -q -c "cylc scan -t rich --color=never" log > /dev/null 2>&1 | ||
| # grep_fail "$ANSI" log -P # no color |

This test wasn't testing what it was supposed to test before?

No because the grep_fail function didn't use any of the options you provided

Ok, we should link an issue to this FIXME.
Would this close it: #6076 ?

No (I tried turning autoreset back on even though that wouldn't make any sense for it to fix the test, and it didn't help).
N.B. I had a look at how colorama works. It bills itself as a package meant only for making colour work on Windows, but I guess we are using it for its init(strip=not use_color) function that can automatically strip ANSI color chars from print() calls (it actually patches sys.stdout and sys.stderr). However there are >100 open issues and it is in a call-for-maintainers state: tartley/colorama#300.
Like the description says. Split off from #6370
