Size of generated TRX logger file gets drastically larger starting with SpecFlow version 3.8.7 and later.

Sorry if this is a duplicate. I wasn't logged in when I created the first attempt.

I am trying to update our project to the latest version of SpecFlow. We are currently using version 3.4.8.

Starting with version 3.8.7 the TRX file size increases from 50MB to 95MB and fails to be parsed by Bamboo's MSTEST parser.

I create the file with the following command:

dotnet test CucumberUnitTests.csproj --logger:trx;LogFileName=testresults.trx

Any ideas why the file changed so drastically starting with version 3.8.7?

Update: the difference seems to be that now SpecFlow (I guess) is emitting TestContext Messages into the output. How do I suppress this?

Basically, there is a tag "TestConext Messages" that then dupliclates all the step information. So all step info is in the output twice.
