Flutter Test should support multiple reporters #69425
Description
Activity
is there something on the market that can be used instead?
Dart supports the --file-reporter option: https://github.com/dart-lang/test/blob/master/pkgs/test/doc/json_reporter.md#usage
It would be nice if flutter supported that too.

Use case
When running
flutter teston a CI, output is very verbose and hard to follow:(this goes on for 200+ lines)
The current alternative is to output to json with
flutter test --machine. This is even more verbose, but can be converted to JUnit XML so we can use a specialized test visualization tools, such as Bitrise Test Reports.This does the job, but requires a lot of configuration and there is currently no way of having two reporters at the same time.
If I want both CLI output and JSON, I need to run tests twice.
I want to be able to output to any format while still having a console output (customizable as well).
Proposal
Flutter should have a
--reporterCLI option, inspired by Mocha Reporters or Jest Reporters.By default Flutter will use the current reporter. If env
CI=true, flutter will usespecautomatically.This is an idea we can take from the very well established and mature JS ecosystem.
