[💡 Feature]: Wdio spec reporter should exclude hook failures in test case pass fail count

[bhuvi4login]

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Yes, I am using "@wdio/junit-reporter": "^8.32.4", and getting report with beforeAll Hook and afterAll Hook failed from the spec-reporter report like below. In case of success, it excludes the hooks in spec reporter. So I get 4 passed. In case of failure, it includes the hooks in spec reporter. So I get 6 failed. In success/failure, the total count should not be changed for me. This is shown in Dashboard in graphs making difficult to understand by business team, why it shows count less one day (in case of success) and other day count more (in case of failure).

Describe the solution you'd like.

Exclude the hooks count in total test cases passed or failed. Hooks are meant to setup initial or final state of the application/test suite.

Describe alternatives you've considered.

Not sure, as Junit or HTML reports generated on the basis of default spec reporter generated, in the spec reporter itself this issue is seen.

I did a quick check and what we do is we put the failed hook in the list of failed specs. It would require a rewrite of this logic, any help on this is welcome and appreciated.

The above reporter shows a spec report 🤔 do we see the same behavior across multiple reporters here?
