Research direction

Reproduce the report with the shown helper hooks using npx codeceptjs run --steps and the same command without --steps. Compare the console ordering for _beforeSuite, _beforeStep, _before, _passed, and _failed; done means passed-hook output appears before the success status while the other hook ordering remains correct.

Description

stale

CodeceptJS v3.1.3

I try create file with helper, thats contains:

_beforeSuite() {
console.log('This text must be before feature string, but is after feature string')
}

_beforeStep() {
console.log('This text must be before each step and page object')
}

_before() {
console.log('This text must be before scenario string, but is after scenario string')
}

_passed() {
console.log('This text must be before OK status, but is after OK status')
}

_failed() {
console.log('This text must be before fail status and is before status - working correctly')
}

when i run codecept as
npx codeceptjs run --steps

i got in console:

I mean, console.logs used in hooks, must be visible before features and scenario in console. And _failed() working correctly, but _passed() is not...
