   This can be done with Jenkins without CodeceptJS

   Just add rm -rf tests/output/* before executing tests.

   And please don't spam in Twitter. That doesn't sound like a good manner.

   FYI Here's an example on how I just set this up using the bootstrap configuration:

   "bootstrap": function(done) {
       try {
           const {ctimeMs} = fs.statSync(OUTPUT_PATH);
           fs.renameSync(OUTPUT_PATH, `${OUTPUT_PATH}_${ctimeMs}`);
       } catch(error) {
           console.error('Could not rename output path');
           console.log(error);
       }
   
       done();
   },
   

   I choose to rename the old output folder instead of deleting it, deleting it might require using glob or launching a sub-process that is aware of the OS.

   OUTPUT_PATH is a variable defined on top of the configuration file, that is used both in this bootstrap function and in the output configuration. Not sure if there is a way to get the current configuration of Codecept as a parameter to the bootstrap function?

   🤔 Forget that, it seems doing this in the bootstrap function, the output dir is renamed during the run 😞

   Here is how I did it for 3.0.2, in case someone comes here from search engine:

   // codecept.conf.js
   const rimraf = require("rimraf");
   const outputFolder = "./test/e2e/bdd/.tmp";
   
   exports.config = {
     // ... irrelevant code
     output: outputFolder,
     async bootstrap() {
       await new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
         rimraf(outputFolder, (err) => {
           if (err) {
             reject(err);
           } else {
             resolve();
           }
         });
       });
     },
     // ... irrelevant code
   };
