Unwanted debug output when running unittests (again). #25807
Description
Type: Bug
Behavior
This is a near repeat of #24743.
Extraneous output is being included into the "Test Results" output when running Python tests using unittest (the "Standard Python test framework").
Specifically, the PROJECT_ROOT_PATH is set, using /... as cwd for execution payload is unnecessary and unwanted.
Steps to reproduce:
- Run any Python unit tests using unittest.
- Observe the extraneous output in the Test Results output.
Diagnostic data
Output for Python in the Output panel (View→Output, change the drop-down the upper-right of the Output panel to Python)
