Code-runner output not being re-directed to VSC Output window

I use code-runner to run groovy scripts from VSC, where the groovy output normally is redirected to the VSC Output window. I just installed the latest version of VSC and code-runner on a different PC, and now for some reason, the output of the groovy executions is displayed in a popup Java console window, but the execution output does not appear in the VSC Output window. I have tried to uninstall both code-runner and VSC, where after re-installing both, groovy command executions are still only be displayed in a popup Java console window and nothing in the VSC Output window. Is there a setting that I need to enable to get the desired behavior? Thank you.
