Research direction

Start by reviewing the attached codecept.conf.js alongside the stepByStep report, focusing on how run-workers and run-multiple determine report and screenshot paths. Reproduce the failure and compare output with reports/html/stepByStep/record*; done means failed-test screenshots appear in the locations used by the stepByStep report.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

stale

What are you trying to achieve?
With run-workers ( and same symptoms with run-multiple), obtain a complete report using the stepByStep reporter

What do you get instead?
The top records.html file is created, but the screenshots for failed tests look like they're not stored in the appropriate directory : they're stored in _output and as a result the stepByStep report looks empty.
