i tried whit
aggregate lines on serenity.properties
serenity.project.name = "My Special Project"
serenity.test.root = "src.resources.feature"
serenity.outputDirectory = C:/SeleniumEvidencias

this is my structure for proyect :

but this is result

What did you expect to happen?

How to reproduce the bug.

How can we make it happen?

• work on this myself (with Serenity BDD team guidance)
• Hire the Serenity BDD team to build it for me
• add it to the Serenity BDD backlog and wait for a volunteer

Use serenity.conf rather than serenity.properties, which is no longer fully supported in Serenity 4.0.0, e.g.

serenity {
  outputDirectory = "reports"
}

[jecardenasri01]

Utilice serenity.conf en lugar de serenity.properties, que ya no es totalmente compatible con Serenity 4.0.0, por ejemplo

serenity {
  outputDirectory = "reports"
}

i tried but it fails too

For Windows, this should work:

serenity {
  outputDirectory = "C:/Users/john/report"
}

or

serenity {
  outputDirectory = "report"
}

Index and others files cannot move to new folder

new folder

target folder still in inteli j idea

my serenity.conf

since the target folder is not moved the index fails

For Windows, this should work:

serenity {
  outputDirectory = "C:/Users/john/report"
}

or

serenity {
  outputDirectory = "report"
}

Cannot move all files to new folder (comment preview)

only move page source cannot generate index.html, only move pagesources ,screenshot ,browser chrome properties

I am not able to reproduce this - did you run mvn serenity:aggregate or grade aggregate?

Possibly a Windows/Gradle-specific issue.
