Junit Timeout @Rule causes Serenity steps to be omitted from the Serenity report

[adeellis]

Issue with using in later versions of Serenity causes steps to be omitted from the report. Does not happen in versions 2.2.5 and earlier.

Here is the junit rule: -

@Rule
public Timeout scenarioTimeout = Timout.seconds(20L);

I have 0 steps showing on my report but all tests have passed. I am running a project with JUnit tests only (no cucumber tests, no cucumber dependencies in the pom). If I use serenity versions 2.1.6, 2.2.0, 2.2.2, 2.2.5 the steps show correctly on the report when I drill into them. The steps disappear in later versions. If I run the same project with a later version of serenity e.g. 2.2.12 (with no changes made to my project) the steps show as 0 in the report. The tests still all are running successfully as I can see them in the console and on the report home page the number of tests is reported correctly. If you attempt to drill into a test to view the steps they are missing.

I have also noticed that the results.csv download icon has also 'disappeared' from the serenity report home page when this issue manifests itself. But I can see the results.csv is present in the correct serenity folder.

EDIT: could it be related to the change to use thread local variables in JUnitStepListener in 2.2.10?
