Reporter output doesn't output anything even if we have data in reporter-output.html file

TestNG Version : 6.8.7 (reproducible in 6.9.8 also) useDefaultListeners : true (use default listeners) One of which is org.testng.reporters.jq.Main

Now log anything from test cases using Reporter.log. For reproduction, I used 2 test cases with retry mechanism in place using IRetryAnalyzer.

I am failing both the tests intentionally. When I see the reports, in target/surefire-reports/index.html (produced by org.testng.reporters.jq.Main) doesn’t show anything in Reporter output section, sometimes it shows entry for one test case and not for the other. While data is always there in target/surefire-reports/old/<suite_name>/reporter-output.html.

While debugging, I found when we create report in org.testng.reporters.jq.Main class. It goes to following method in ReporterPanel to get data from Reporter:

public String getContent(ISuite suite, XMLStringBuffer main) {
    XMLStringBuffer xsb = new XMLStringBuffer(main.getCurrentIndent());
    for (ITestResult tr : getModel().getAllTestResults(suite)) {
      List<String> lines = Reporter.getOutput(tr);
      if (! lines.isEmpty()) {
        xsb.push(D, C, "reporter-method-div");
        xsb.addRequired(S, Model.getTestResultName(tr), C, "reporter-method-name");
        xsb.push(D, C, "reporter-method-output-div");
        for (String output : lines) {
          xsb.addRequired(S, output, C, "reporter-method-output");
        }
        xsb.pop(D);
        xsb.pop(D);
      }
    }
    return xsb.toXML();
  }

In this, Reporter is coming as null, due to which it doesn’t get any data. I also tried to disable all reporters except this to give it first chance to access Reporter, but no luck.

Could you try with 6.9.10 (latest on maven central) or later (available on bintray) ?
