Timestamp for previous tests got updated incorrectly on using json formatter

[Udjain]

Not sure if I am missing something or its a bug but when you run your 2nd test which try to append to the existing report using json formatter the timestamp including start/end time got updated for the previous test & remain same.

using below code:

sparkReporter = new ExtentSparkReporter(reportPath + "//TestReport.html");
extent = new ExtentReports();
json = new JsonFormatter(reportPath + "//TestReport.json");
try {
extent.createDomainFromJsonArchive(reportPath + "//TestReport.json");
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
extent.attachReporter(json, sparkReporter);
extent.attachReporter(sparkReporter);
extent.setReportUsesManualConfiguration(true);

Hi, I think I got that same issue in 5.1.0 (jdk 11) & 5.1.1 (jdk 17). First test run generates an html file with correct timestamps, but after running the test again, the first run's timestamps get overwritten to one identical timestamp matching the moment createDomainFromJsonArchive is run (based on some quick debugging). The second run's timestamps are saved correctly. Then, after running the test for the 3rd time, the 2nd run's timestamps got overwritten, while the 3rd run timestamps were displayed correctly. Let me know if any additional info (test report, json) would be helpful to reproduce/fix the issue. Cheers!
