Unable to delete old generated allure files from all-results and allure report

[epszaw]

Describe the Bug

Link to https://github.com/allure-framework/allure-js/issues/814

On each run i.e allure generate my-allure-results -o allure-report --clean , i see allure-results folder keeps growing with each new test run, even though I'm using the --clean command.

Steps to Reproduce

1. I used this command to install npm package of allure report npm i allure-playwright
2. Made changes in the playwright.config.ts file as reporter: "allure-playwright";
3. Ran the command to execute tests and generate file to all-results folder npx playwright test --reporter=line,allure-playwright
4. Ran the command to generate report file allure generate my-allure-results -o allure-report --clean

Expected Behaviour

Upon running the clean command allure-results folder should be cleaned

I am facing the same issue. It would be great if someone could share their thoughts on why it is not clearing the folder.

The --clean command isn't supposed to clean the allure-results directory; it's used to remove the report output directory if it exists.

If you want to remove previous results, add a pretest script to remove the allure-results directory.
