Bug: Cucumber json file is created as empty if the total video size for all tests is going over 1 GB

[magarwal19]

Given
I execute a test suite which has larger number of tests and video is enabled for execution

When
The total size of videos is going over 1 GB

Then
Cucumber json report is created as empty and json file size is 0 kb

But I expect
Cucumber json report should be created with proper results

Environment
playwright-bdd: v6.6.0
@playwright/test: v1.45.0
@cucumber/cucumber: v10.8.0
Playwright config file: playwright.config.js

1. could you check if Playwright's built-in json successfully created fro such setup?
2. do you attach video by video option in config or you attach them manually with testInfo.attach()?

playwright html file was generated successfully with all videos and screenshots..

i am attaching using video option in config..

currently i have changed the config to below and now cucumber reports creating successfully without attachments
cucumberReporter('json', {
outputFile: 'cucumber-report/report.json',
skipAttachments: true
}),

skipAttachments: true

Good solution. Anyway embedding videos into json is not optimal approach imho.
There is a new feature in cucumber html reporter, allowing to externalize attachments (cucumber/html-formatter#281). I think we can adopt it to json report as well.
Lets keep this issue open for supporting external attachments in cucumber reports.

Since playwright-bdd v7.5.0, json reporter has skipAttachments option, so you can skip videos.
Feel free to re-open if it does not help in your case.
