I’m unable to get a message built up from several lines in the output. In the output below, I would like the message to contain the spec name, and the reason it failed. Any ideas if this is possible?

I have the following output from NUnit:

I have configured the following problem matcher:

        "regexp": "^\\d+\\) Failed.*$"
    },
    {

        "message": 1
    },
    {
        "regexp": "^(.*)$",
        "message": 1
