GD.Print Output Not Visible in Tests

GD.Print prints nothing under dotnet test. The output exists; the runner hides it.

Why This Happens

GD.Print writes to stdout through Godot's native OS::print(). dotnet test hides test-host stdout by default. The stream is global, so output also mixes with engine and fixture logs rather than belonging to a specific test.

Making GD.Print Visible

Enable detailed console logging:

dotnet test --logger "console;verbosity=detailed"

Your messages show up, mixed into the test-host stream with engine and fixture logs.

Use ITestOutputHelper instead

For anything a test wants to say, use xUnit's ITestOutputHelper:

[Collection<HeadlessCollection>]
public class MyTests(HeadlessFixture godot, ITestOutputHelper output)
{
    [Fact]
    public void MyTest()
    {
        var node = godot.Tree.Root;

        // Instead of: GD.Print(node.GetPath());
        output.WriteLine(node.GetPath());
    }
}

The output then belongs to that test: it lands in the failure report and in the IDE test explorer, with no engine noise around it. GD.Print stays what it is, a runtime debugging aid.
