“Failed to parse Safety output” error when running pipenv check --quiet

[Judx]

Issue description

When I run:

pipenv check --auto-install --quiet --output json 

or just

pipenv check --quiet

I get:

Created temporary requirements file: ...
Using requirements file: ...
Safety package is required for vulnerability scanning but not installed.
Installing safety...
Safety installed successfully!
Failed to parse Safety output.

Afaik Pipenv check with ---quiet param does to return valid JSON as it should.

Expected result

A JSON report of vulnerabilities instead of the parse error.

Actual result

Pipenv exits with: "Failed to parse Safety output."

Steps to replicate

mkdir /tmp/test && cd /tmp/test
pipenv --python 3.11 install requests
pipenv check --auto-install --quiet --output json

---
