title: How can I make “gradle --console=rich” the default?
body: <p>Along the lines of <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29977196/how-can-i-make-gradle-stacktrace-the-default#29983737" title="this answer">this answer</a> (which works for me, BTW) and the <a href="https://docs.gradle.org/3.2.1/javadoc/org/gradle/StartParameter.html#setConsoleOutput%28org.gradle.api.logging.configuration.ConsoleOutput%29" rel="noreferrer" title="javadocs">javadocs</a>, I tried</p>
  
  <pre><code>gradle.startParameter.consoleOutput = org.gradle.api.logging.configuration.ConsoleOutput.Rich
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>in my <code>~/.gradle/init.gradle</code>. However, I still need <code>--console=rich</code> to get color output. Why?</p>
  
  <p>Tested with Gradle 2.14.1 and 3.2.1.</p>
