NUnit/JUnit summary implies no colour in output messages

[cmeeren]

Repro solution in case you need it: ExpectoTest.zip

When running with --nunit-summary, the output contains an ESC character. This causes the Azure Pipelines "Publish Test Results" task to fail:

##[warning]Failed to read D:\a\1\a\TestResults.xml. Error : '�', hexadecimal value 0x1B, is an invalid character. Line 7, position 1.. 

Please see the attached test results file.

TestResults.zip

Here is how the file looks in Notepad++. You can see the invalid character on lines 7 and 8.

The same thing happens with --junit-summary:

##[warning]Failed to read D:\a\1\s\TestResults.xml. Error : '�', hexadecimal value 0x1B, is an invalid character. Line 6, position 293..

TestResults.zip

Yep, that solves it. I guess Expecto should always exclude colors from the test results file?

[haf]

Yes, exactly. PR? :)

By the way, colors in the string is also an issue in the VS debugger (when debugging tests with F5):
