Name of the report is not saving as expected (even though 'reportFilename' in cypress.json file is changed)

[prudhvidandamudi]

i am using mochawesome for my cypress tests.

This is my cypress.json file

{
  "viewportWidth": 1440,
  "viewportHeight": 800,
  "defaultCommandTimeout": 8000,
  "reporter": "mochawesome",
  "reporterOptions": {
      "reportDir": "cypress/reports/mochawesome-report",
      "reportFilename": "sample",
      "overwrite": false,
      "html": true,
      "json": true  
   },
  "env": {
    "environment": "Stagging"
  },
  "screenshotsFolder": "cypress/reports/mochawesome-report/assets",
}

when I ran my tests, the reports are generated with name 'sample.html' which is expected as I have defined my report title as sample in cypress.json file.

now I wanted to have unique name for each report generated based on the test suite name.

so I have used the cypress event 'test:before:run' and set the reportFilename in cypress.json to the test suite name before the execution of each test, the sample code is down below

Cypress.on("test:before:run", (test, runnable) => {
    console.log(Cypress.config("reporterOptions").reportFilename);
    const suiteTitle = runnable.parent.title;
    Cypress.config({
        "reporterOptions":{
            "reportFilename": suiteTitle
        }
    });
    const reportFileName = Cypress.config("reporterOptions").reportFilename;
    console.log(reportFileName);
});

I see the reportFilename is successfully changed to Tests suite name

But my report is still saved as 'sample.html'

Why my report is still saving as sample.html , instead of my test suite name?

can you help me to resolve this @adamgruber ?

This will not work because the reporter has already been created with the initial options and no longer references the Cypress config. There is currently no way to have custom filenames for each test.

@adamgruber

Is it possible to implement it as a new feature?
So that each report file is created with the name of the Spec files by default
or
at least an option to alter the reporter options before test execution, so that report will be saved under the altered name?

[adamgruber]

It might be possible but I don't have a ton of time to devote to it right now.

Looking into this a bit, adding the feature is pretty straightforward but to work with Cypress will require cypress-io/cypress#1495 to be complete.

[mohanhbk]

is this feature implemented?

[adamgruber]

Not yet but PRs are welcome.

Please see https://github.com/adamgruber/mochawesome#reportfilename-replacement-tokens which is now available in v7.1.0. I believe this should address your issues.
