Mochawesome not refreshing the tests

[Adrian Badulescu]

Describe the bug
I have an issue in refreshing the html and json files from Mochawesome, the setup is with Selenium/NodeJs.
The test are not updated in mochawesome after I change the code in tests.js file - the entry point test file

packaje.json file:
"test": "mocha tests.js --reporter mochawesome && concurrently "http-server -a localhost -p 3000" "opener http://localhost:3000/mochawesome-report/mochawesome.html"" - start the tests with mocha, passing the tests to the mochawesome reporter, starting a web server on port 3000 and opening the generated html file with opener package in the default browser.

  this.timeout(45000)
  before(async function () {

    driver = await new Builder().forBrowser('chrome').build();
  });

  it('Test if password exists', async function () {
    await driver.get(`${siaMock_Link}`);
    await driver.findElement(By.id('username')).sendKeys(`${siaMockUsername}`);    
    let pass = await driver.findElement(By.id('password'))
    await sleep(500)
    await assert.exists(pass);
    await pass.sendKeys(`${siaMock_ST_Password}`)
  });



  it('This test should fail', async function () {
    await false.should.be.true
  });



  after(async function () { await driver.quit(); process.exit() });
});

Code Reproduce
Link to repo where the issue can reliably be reproduced:

Expected behavior
html and json output files to be replaced everytime the test is run

Screenshots
one test pass and one fails as expected - in mocha

both test are passed from an old setup - in mochawesome

Environment (please complete the following information):

• Windows 10
• mochawesome version ^6.2.2
• mocha (or other test library) version ^8.4.0
• Node version v12.18.3
• "concurrently": "^6.2.0"
• "http-server": "^0.12.3"
• "opener": "^1.5.2"
• "selenium-webdriver": "^4.0.0-beta.1"

Hi @adrian-badulescu ,

I have noticed that you run your tests only once right before service reports via HTTP.

mocha tests.js --reporter mochawesome && concurrently "http-server ...

If you want to re-run the tests when you have change the tests, you could try to use nodemon.

npx nodemon -e .js -x 'mocha tests.js --reporter mochawesome' || concurrently  ...
