Cannot grab browser logs on failure with multiple workers - question

[grzegorzprzybylo]

What are you trying to achieve?

I want to grab browser logs when some test failed, tests are run using command: ./node_modules/.bin/codeceptjs run-workers 2 --grep "@sometesttag" --plugins allure

And I see that custom hook:

event.dispatcher.on(event.test.failed, async (test, error) => { 

})

inside which I use await I.grabBrowserLogs(); is not working when we use multiple workers. (when we use run-workers command, with run this code works OK)

Tried also surround some part of the code with try / catch block and call await I.grabBrowserLogs(); on error, but it does not work either.

Is this possible to make it working, simply to grab logs from browser on test failure (i.e. some element is not clickable on the page, or it is not in DOM), when we are using multiple workers? FYI - with standard run command I am using custom hook and it works like a charm. And I would like to achieve something similar but when multiple workers are used. Is this possible? I believe it might be doable using https://codecept.io/parallel/#custom-parallel-execution but then, I assume that browser control must be customized as well, and then we simply won't be able to use built-in method on I actor, right?
