IDEA-263027 Gradle Test - JUnit No StartTime in test output

JetBrains/intellij-community

The greeting message has been moved to the onStart method in order to make sure it also gets printed when running in a test environment.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I have the suspicion that it did not print the greeting message before because either the conosleView wasn’t ready to accept output or the foldGreetingOrFarewell was causing problems and causing the line to become blank.

See the issue #263027 for how the test output is now currently printed.
