I'm running cypress tests headlessly and would like the console output to be a little more readable. Currently, I get a very messy output as seen below. According to the documentation it should be using the Mocha SPEC reporter layout. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to make this output readable?
I'm running ./node_modules/.bin/cypress run

The messy output is because Cypress is using ANSI color escape characters to format the output, which your log viewer/console doesn't understand. You can disable the output of ANSI color control characters by setting the environment variable NO_COLOR:
NO_COLOR=1 cypress run
See https://docs.cypress.io/guides/continuous-integration/introduction#Colors
This was added in Cypress 3.0.0, released on 5/29/2018.
