Jest Not Displaying Colors, Or Accepting Commands

Question

I'm running Jest to test a Create React App in a Git-Bash terminal, on Windows 7. It's running the tests as it should; but it isn't displaying the PASS/FAIL messages with color enhancements.

Also, when it asks for a 'u' to update snapshots, it doesn't accept the u. Control-C'ing after trying the u, I see the u as the first command once Jest has stopped running.

Has anyone seen these behaviors before? Any idea how to fix?

Thanks for your help.

Add export FORCE_COLOR=true into your .bash_profile or .bashrc.
