Reporting crashes always

[mlavigne1964]

I'm trying to have the reporting module to works but to no avail.

I have my Step class derived from ReportingStepDefinitions I do have a [BeforeTestRun] method to setup the reporting. I'm using the minimum setup just to make it run: Reporters.Add( new PlainTextReporter() );

And yet, the second I run my test I get the error below. Any idea? someone?

Simple and fast scenarioSystem.NullReferenceException : Object reference not set to an instance of an object. TearDown : System.NullReferenceException : Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

It seems like the internal TearDown is being counted as a step of our tests, but it's never assigned to any reporter (I'm using webapp). It's also an issue for these types of steps that don't belong to the test, if you have implemented the screenshot per step like the showcase sample, because some steps won't have access to the browser. I still don't have a PR for this, but I noticed the changes I've made in my repo have fix this issue (but created others).
