Hello @manuelkiessling, currently we use is-ci package to disable CLI animation on CI systems like Jenkins. Maybe it's a bug in that package. BTW, you can declare/export the CI environment variable, and the hipster wheel must go away. 😉 Examples:

for bash:

CI=1 testcafe ...

cmd

set CI=1 
testcafe ...

powershell

$env:CI=1; node .\bin\testcafe.js chrome .\examples\basic\test.js
