To Reproduce

Test File:

describe('WDIO Video Test', () => {
    beforeEach(async () => {
        await browser.navigateTo('https://www.google.com/')
    })

    it('Should fail', async () => {
        await browser.navigateTo('https://webdriver.io/')
        await $('.footer__title').scrollIntoView()
        await browser.pause(2000)
        await expect(1).toEqual(2)
    })
})

package.json:

{
  "name": "wdio_video_temp",
  "type": "module",
  "devDependencies": {
    "@babel/core": "^7.24.4",
    "@babel/preset-env": "^7.24.4",
    "@babel/register": "^7.23.7",
    "@wdio/allure-reporter": "^8.14.0",
    "@wdio/cli": "^8.36.0",
    "@wdio/local-runner": "^8.36.0",
    "@wdio/mocha-framework": "^8.36.0",
    "@wdio/spec-reporter": "^8.36.0",
    "wdio-video-reporter": "^5.2.0"
  },
  "scripts": {
    "wdio": "wdio run ./wdio.conf.js"
  }
}

wdio.conf.js:

Boiler plate configuration with the below updates to reporters:

    reporters: ['spec',
        ['allure',
            { outputDir: 'allure-results' }],
        ['video',
            {
                outputDir: 'allure-results',
                saveAllVideos: false,
            }]
    ],

Expected behavior:

I expect the video files that are generated and present within the output directory to be included in the Allure Report when using before / beforeEach hooks.

Environment (please complete the following information):

• wdio-video-reporter version: 5.2.0
• WebdriverIO version: 8.36.0
• Mode: Testrunner
• If WDIO Testrunner, running sync/async: async
• Node.js version: v20.11.1
• NPM version: 10.2.4
• Browser name and version: 123.0.6312.122
• Platform name and version: MacOS Ventura - 13.6.3

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: MacOS
• Browser: Chrome
• Version: 123.0.6312.122

Additional context:

• Viewing the output directory, the video file is present and labelled appropriately.
• Despite the before / beforeEach hooks succeeding, a video is created for these steps are attached to the allure report regardless of the 'saveAllVideos' parameter in the configuration.
• When removing the beforeEach hook in the above snippet, the videos of the tests are attached to the allure report as expected.
