Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'testsuite')

[mthaak]

I am running mocha-junit-reporter using Cypress. However, sporadically (6 out of 100 times) it fails with this stack-trace:

Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'testsuite')
TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'testsuite')

@michaelleeallen could you take a look at this? Look at least 5 dudes with this problem :(

I have just hit this issue too is there any fix?

[yuritoledo]

To give up :(

@Nuxij switching from reporter: 'mocha-junit-reporter' to reporter: 'junit' fixed the issue for me so maybe worth a try? 🤷

[zjkipping]

Switching the reporter isn't a "fix", you are just using an entirely different system... From my side we didn't start experiencing this error until we started adding the [suitName] to the mochaFile output name config. This variable just needs to be escaped if it doesn't exist instead of crashing everything...

Hi there.

Still having this issue with "mocha-junit-reporter": "2.2.1", using it together with mocha-multi-reporters.

[kirrg001]

Same here. The issue comes and goes. Any workarounds?

"node_modules/mocha-junit-reporter": {
"version": "2.2.1"
"node_modules/mocha-multi-reporters": {
"version": "1.5.1",

@clayreimann Hi ✋ How can we help to get this bug fixed? Do you have any guess why this is happening randomly? I can create a pull request.

[AM1988]

reproducible also when running tests with --parallel flag

[kirrg001]

I am also experiencing this problem a lot since we run parallel processes.
