Run-multiple - Output directory path appended to test root path by codecept, So unable to create output directories

[shrikanthkm07]

What are you trying to achieve?

After upgrading to codeceptjs@0.6.3 for run-multiple

I am using run-multiple command for parallel execution. I am using mocha-reporter to generate output xml file. So I pass my custom directory path in output: /Users/madhusus/hydra-dev/src/node_modules/consumer-automation/test-reports
I am expecting the report file to be saved in this path.

What do you get instead?

Internally codecept is appending the "test root path" which is /Users/madhusus/hydra-dev/src/node_modules/nextgen-test/ to the path which I have passed in output.

So the end result for output directory will be '/Users/madhusus/hydra-dev/src/node_modules/nextgen-test/Users/madhusus/hydra-dev/src/node_modules/consumer-automation/test-reports/desktop_browser_chrome_1' which is invalid.

Provide console output if related. Use --verbose mode for more details.

@shrikanthkm07 Could you, please, provide your codecept.conf.js file? Are you using something like mocha-multi or mochawesome?

I see only one place, where we override output path

overriddenConfig = replaceValue(overriddenConfig, 'output', path.join(config.output, outputDir));
overriddenConfig = replaceValue(overriddenConfig, 'reportDir', path.join(config.output, outputDir));

where config.output is output from config and outputDir is
suite + JSON.stringify(browserConfig).replace(/[^\d\w]+/g, '_') + suiteId

[shrikanthkm07]

@APshenkin here is the config I export to codecept. I have filled the values.
As you can see, I am passing output value here, which means all my test results should be saved here but codecept is internally appending test root path to the output. So, the resulting output path will be test root + output, which will look like this.

/Users/madhusus/hydra-dev/src/node_modules/nextgen-test/Users/madhusus/hydra-dev/src/node_modules/consumer-automation/test-reports/desktop_browser_chrome_1

where

/Users/madhusus/hydra-dev/src/node_modules/nextgen-test/ is the test-root

and

Users/madhusus/hydra-dev/src/node_modules/consumer-automation/test-reports/desktop_browser_chrome_1

is what I pass custom folder path

@APshenkin
I found that , this line is appending test-root path to output path in run.js when we use run-multiple command.
PR : https://github.com/Codeception/CodeceptJS/pull/482/files
Any idea on this ?

[APshenkin]

@shrikanthkm07 I think, we should call @DavertMik for this)

[shrikanthkm07]

@DavertMik Can you look into this..?
Thanks in advance

[shrikanthkm07]

Is there any update on this ? @DavertMik @APshenkin I am still facing this issue. Thanks

[APshenkin]

@shrikanthkm07 I will take a look on it this week
