Additional Information
I tried instructing it to do experiments with "echo", but it sees all output from bash:
● Bash(echo "this is stdout" && echo "this is stderr" 1>&2)
⎿ this is stdout
this is stderr
● Both stdout and stderr are captured correctly.This issue has 3 comments on GitHub. Read the full discussion on GitHub ↗
