The version command was changed to output to stderr instead of stdout in PR #12704, but the test was still using cmd.Output() which only captures stdout. Changed to cmd.CombinedOutput() to capture both stdout and stderr, fixing the test failure. Co-authored-by: pelikhan <4175913+pelikhan@users.noreply.github.com>
