Cy.log args are no longer printed to the console showing newlines after cypress 7.2

Current behavior

cy.log shows args as an array and doesn’t show the newlines that may be present. This make it very difficult to read large debug messages (something my QA users have come to depend on when debugging tests).

Desired behavior

cy.log entries when clicked are printed to the developer console showing newlines. This is helpful if you have large debug logs you wish to view. This is how it used to work in 7.2 and prior.

Test code to reproduce

"cypress": "7.2.0",  <=== shows newlines in console logs
...
"cypress": "7.3.0",  <=== behavior changed

it('cy.log works', () => {
  cy.log("Hello there from javascript", "this is not an array\nlarge logs with lots of lines\n\nmore logging\n\neven more")
})

@westhomas I tried your solution, but it makes the output look unintuitive when there are 2+ args like below:

It’s hard to guess what 0, 1 means at a glance.

So, I changed it this way:
