I believe you have run into one of the bugs that [https://github.com//pull/538](this PR) had fixed. It will be available in the next version, but if you have 0 tests in the report, it can run into such issues. You can use replaceExisting=true in such scenarios.

[Swathi-123]

Hi,

I do have tests. But I'm facing this issue only when i set replaceExisting to false. Similar to issue #589 . I tried moving the test class to a different package as well. It is not working. Thanks.

[anshooarora]

Can you share a sample of the report? I will append a few tests to your report to see if I can reproduce.

PS. This can also happen if your tests are not being ended by calling of endTest method.

[Swathi-123]

Hi Anshoo,

I have attached a sample report and the code as well for your reference.
Also, I do have 'endTest' method in my @after.

Report.zip

Thanks

[Swathi-123]

Also, the captured screenshot in the report looks very narrow in size. Could you please provide your inputs on this as well.

[girishschavan]

I'm also facing same issue.
Please let me know if I need to get latest maven dependency with this fix.

[alexkates]

Any update on a fix for this?

[anshooarora]

I was able to repro. Fixed issue on 2.41.2 branch: 35d30f1.

Will release this version hopefully tonight or tomorrow.

[anshooarora]

Release 2.41.2 now available. Please check.

[alexkates]

That worked @anshooarora Thanks for the speedy release.

[Swathi-123]

Hi Anshoo,

Thanks. I'm facing one more issue. When I set the replaceExisting Variable as 'True' its working fine. However when set to False, 'UnParseable Date' Exception is thrown but the script is getting executed.
Attached the err msg. Could you pls let me know on this.
