Issue Description

Tracking output still show in output, may I ask how could I disable trace output

[SabotageAndi]

Which trace output do you mean?

[xuanzhaopeng]

Hey @SabotageAndi , the trace output when I run test from console line, I saw
"Given ..."
"When ...." in terminal.

Do you think is it possible to fully disable it? in specflow 2.4, I set trace listener to NullListener , then there is no output for this trace. But in specflow 3(latest version), I cannot disable the trace in the terminal.

Thanks a lot for your help

[SabotageAndi]

Perhaps we broke it with SpecFlow 3. There were a lot of changes necessary with the container creation/registration.
The code is here: https://github.com/techtalk/SpecFlow/blob/master/TechTalk.SpecFlow/Infrastructure/ContainerBuilder.cs

Perhaps we resolve an ITraceListener before we register the one from the config.
I would suggest you send first a PR with a failing scenario/test. Perhaps you find also the issue.

[xuanzhaopeng]

For sure, I will make a PR for unit test at first to ensure I could reproduce it
