F# XUnit test does not print output

Question

I have the following XUnit test in a project created with dotnet new xunit:

type Scenarios(output : ITestOutputHelper) =

  [<Fact>]
  member __.``Output shows up`` () =
    output.WriteLine("I'm here")

This approach seems to have worked before, but running the tests doesn't show any output, regardless of whether I use dotnet test or dotnet xunit:

> dotnet test

What am I doing wrong here?

This works in VS Code with a .NET Core project, though it's a bit noisy:

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