Create outputDir directory in case it doesn't exist

[nami-varthakavi]

On a fresh start of running the tests, we expect the WDIO tester runner will be creating the folder mentioned in the outputDir arg for allure.
This is how I provided in the config file,

reporters: [
        'spec',
        ['allure', {
            outputDir: './test-reporters/allure-results'
        }]
    ]

On running my test I get the following error

[0-0] events.js:183
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
      ^
Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'C:\path\to\my\package\test-reports\allure-results\wdio-0-0-allure-reporter.log'

I also tried giving the default value like this

reporters: [
        'spec',
        ['allure', {
            outputDir: 'allure-results'
        }]
    ]

but the error persists.

@nami-varthakavi if the directory doesn't exist it can't put files in there. I would agree however that wdio should create the folder in case it doesn't exit.

Can you also update outputDir in config file(https://webdriver.io/docs/options.html#outputdir) also to incorporate the same idea?

Should this issue be closed since there is a merged PR for it?

@tendonstrength yes, closing.

@WillBrock - not working, at least not on Windows. I moved the ensureDirSync-call to before the call to createWriteStream in the constructor and it starts working, which seems reasonable?

wdio.conf looks like:

reporters: [
    'spec',
    ['junit', {
        outputDir: './reports',
        outputFileFormat: function(opts) { // optional
            return `wdio-${opts.cid}-junit-report.xml`
        }
    }]
]

Options-object looks like:

{
    logLevel: 'silent',
    setLogFile: [Function: NOOP],
    outputDir: './reports',
    outputFileFormat: [Function: outputFileFormat],
    logFile: 'reports\\wdio-0-0-junit-report.xml',
    writeStream: {
        write: [Function: write]
    }
}

@atti187 That might be OK but not sure why that would change creating the directory. I don't have windows so I don't have a way to test. Mind creating a pr so someone can test with windows?

Looks like my fix resolved the issue in junit, but not allure... working on an update in #3578

Haven't really had time to follow up on your changes. Anyways thanks for checking this out for me :)

@WillBrock - guess @klamping beat me to it! Anyway, thx.
