Getting empty allure report

[sonalidwivedi]

I am using cucumber-playwright with typescript framework and have followed same steps for generating allure report. After execution, allure-report folder is getting created but there is nothing inside data -> test-cases and i am getting "ALLURE REPORT UNKNOWN". I am using below dependencies:
"@cucumber/cucumber": "^8.7.0",
"playwright": "^1.26.0",
"allure-cucumberjs": "^2.0.0-beta.19",

Attaching relevant files for the reference. Please let me know if i am missing any detail.

I have also cloned the same code but allure-result folder is not getting generated.

Hi Tallyb,
Thank you for your reply! I have already used USE_ALLURE=1 in test.yml file as an env parameter and then using "npx cucumber-js && npm run allure" to execute the test but getting report with 0 test cases. It says Allure Report Unknown. Please let me know if any additional dependency is required.

did you make sure allure is installed? does it work locally?

[sonalidwivedi]

Yes, "allure-commandline": "^2.18.1","allure-cucumberjs": "2.0.0-beta.19", is installed. Locally it does not work, i am getting empty report only. Attaching screenshot for the execution. I am using Mac, i am not sure if that would make any difference.

Hi @Tallyb ,
Please help me with this issue.

[Tallyb]

The error is quite clear: no directory. Create the reports/allure-results folder

Hi @Tallyb ,

Already tried creating allure-results folder. allure-results is empty, and getting the same issue of 0 test cases.

Note : I have cloned https://github.com/Tallyb/cucumber-playwright repo and tried executing the code.

Is the folder in the comment fill? Any chance it is folder permissions?

[sonalidwivedi]

You mean Allure-Report folder? It looks like this. I do not see any permission issue

[sonalidwivedi]

I just checked allure-report in finder. It looks like this. I created a new folder in "allure-report" locally, so it does not look like permission issue.

Hi @Tallyb ,

Anything that i can try for resolving this issue?

Hi @Tallyb,

Please suggest if you have any resolution, it is bit urgent.

The problem is solved by installing dotenv and including
import dotenv from "dotenv";
dotenv.config();
because apparently it was not reading the configuration made in the .env

Those who are using .env file should follow @javillegas2 steps mentioned above and for others pass the CLI option as

USE_ALLURE=1 npm test (Mac & Linux)
set USE_ALLURE=1&&npm test (Windows)

or update npm scripts in package.json as
"test": "USE_ALLURE=1 cucumber-js", (Mac & Linux)
"test": "set USE_ALLURE=1&&cucumber-js", (Windows)
