How to output(e.g., echo, printf, etc.) from tests when running paratest

Hi there!

Does anyone know how to output (e.g., echo, printf, etc.) to the console while tests are running?

I have a custom error message that triggers during tearDown -> hasFailed, which prints a detailed error message if a test fails. However, after migrating from brianium/paratest version 3 to version 6, my error message has gone silent.

It still works fine in PHPUnit, but not in Paratest. Does anyone know a solution to enable message output while Paratest is running?

	protected function tearDown(): void
	{
		if ($this->hasFailed() && $this->lastServiceStatus !== null) {
			printf(
				PHP_EOL . 'Last query service status from test: "%s" (%s)' . PHP_EOL . '%s' . PHP_EOL . PHP_EOL,
				$this->getName(),
				$this->getStatusName($this->getStatus()),
				json_encode($this->lastServiceStatus, JSON_PRETTY_PRINT)
			);
		}
		parent::tearDown();
	}

This is not feasible in ParaTest currently because the concept of "is running" is not linear but rather multi-dimensional.
This means that, except for blocking errors, the STDOUT and STDERR or sub-processes are ignored by design.

I suggest you to rely on more precise or custom assertions.
