[Bug]: Seeing ANSI codes in debug console when running Playwright tests

[pmeera5623]

Version

1.48.1

Steps to reproduce

While running Playwright tests in VS code in Debug mode, it throws ANSI characters like below in Debug console:

\x1b[2mRunning \x1b[22m1\x1b[2m test using \x1b[22m1\x1b[2m worker\x1b[22m How to get rid of these? These were not appearing before

Expected behavior

I expect to see output like: Running test using 1 worker

Actual behavior

\x1b[2mRunning \x1b[22m1\x1b[2m test using \x1b[22m1\x1b[2m worker\x1b[22m

Additional context

Investigation notes:

      await this._vscode.debug.startDebugging(undefined, {
        type: 'pwa-node',
        name: debugSessionName,
        request: 'launch',
        cwd: paths.cwd,
        env: {
          ...process.env,
          FORCE_COLOR: '1',
        },
        program: '/Users/maxschmitt/Developer/playwright-vscode/test.js',
      });

in src/playwrightTestServer.ts is a minimal repro. We are forcing colors even tho the VSCode debugging session does not support colors.
