What is the best way to use AnsiConsole in Unit Tests?

[buzzfrog]

Hi
I have some problems with the global AnsiConsole in my unit test. The problem is that the text from my previous test is still there when I do AnsiConsole.ExportText in my next test.

I want to have a clear (empty) AnsiConsole in each test.

I have tried to do AnsiConsole.Clear() but that throws an exception.

Have I missed something? :)

@buzzfrog Take a look at TestConsole (which implements IAnsiConsole) in the Spectre.Console.Testing NuGet package. This is what Spectre.Console uses for it's own tests as well.

Example of usage:

spectre.console/test/Spectre.Console.Tests/Unit/AnsiConsoleTests.cs

Line 10 in 5b2b437

public void Should_Clear_Screen(bool home, string expected)

Thanks. I'll look into your suggestion.
