Cucumber & messages json not generating when running from Cypress UI

[kiran-epic]

Current behavior

Even after setting the required configuration as per the Docs, not able to get the json & messages generated when cypress is launched using npx cypress open & an feature is executed

Desired behavior

Cucumber json should be generated the same way they get generated when using the npx cypress run command

Test code to reproduce

I can't reproduce your issue, they reports are generated as expected.

@badeball That's super strange, where are the logs getting generated for you? Also are you running from console or using the cypress runner (npx cypress open & then selecting a feature) ?

[kiran-epic]

@badeball I just ran using the npx cypress run command & was able to see the logs. So the issue is only when you run using the cypress UI runner (npx cypress open)

JSON reports aren't typically generated in open-mode. They rely on some events that aren't available in open-mode, at least not without experimentalInteractiveRunEvents: true. However, it seems like even this experimental flag broke some time ago, ref. cypress-io/cypress#18955.
