👍 this just helped me too, thanks :)
I don't think the sed is necessary, though -- the way I see it, run should behave the same as just invoking the command normally (except that a non-zero exit doesn't fail the test, and that the status and output are captured)

Although perhaps it should append to $BATS_OUT so that it doesn't overwrite the rest of the test case's output.

Thanks for the patch, but I don't think Bats should print Bats will now tell you the test filename and line number that triggers the failure, which should help you when debugging failing tests: bc72b85 |

in some cases, its not easy to find why test failed. i saw one sollution with custom assert_equal. but its useful to have the content of $output printent out when test fails.
i'm not sure that this is the 100perc correct place, but this worked fine for me and i was able to fix my tests then.
