Description

This is particularly a problem with the JUnit formatting as it means any Debug.log is included in the head of the JUnit output, making it invalid xml.

Steps to reproduce; write a test case with Debug.log, and invoke elm-test with JUnit reporter redirected to an xml file.

If Debug.log went to STDERR it would not be redirected to the file. Alternatively allow Junit reporter to specify a file and only output the test results to the file.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Find where Debug.log output is written to stdout in the JUnit reporter and change it to stderr.
