force:apex:test:run --verbose no longer emitting output to stdout

Since upgrading to sfdx-cli version 7.112.0, I am noticing that the following command is no longer outputting command output to stdout:

sfdx force:apex:test:run -w 60 --verbose

Prior to this installing this upgrade, I would see periodic output to stdout indicating the cli was polling for updates, and then at the end of the test run, it would spit out a summary of all of the tests that were run, along with a summary of how many tests passed or failed. The lack of output is particularly problematic in our CI environment, which runs against Scratch Orgs, and then deletes the Scratch Orgs upon completion, so there’s no record of the tests that failed.

Steps To Reproduce:

1. Execute the command against your Apex code base with unit test classes:

sfdx force:apex:test:run -w 60 --verbose

Expected result

I expect to see periodic progress updates while the tests are running, and a test summary when the test run completes.

Actual result

No output is emitted to stdout either while the tests are running, or once the tests have completed.

I’ll take this on.

I am now seeing the test summary written to the console upon completion without having to add the “-r human” option.
