JUnit5 remove Allure default TestExecutionListener (AllureJunitPlatform)

Question

I'm trying to change report generation for Allure to override the test status of failed tests. Tests that failed by assertion are marked as FAILED and red in a final report. Tests that failed due to timeout - BROKEN and yellow. I need to make all the reasons for test failures FAILED and red. I made it by creating a custom listener. And faced an issue that both mine and default allure listeners are working at the same time. As a result of each test 2 report files are being generated. is there any possibility to disable default AllureJunitPlatform listener? or are there any alternative ways to solve my issue?

I register my listener like this:

Launcher launcher = LauncherFactory.create();
TestExecutionListener listener = new MyCustomAllureListener();
launcher.registerTestExecutionListeners(listener);

As far as I can see, Under the hood of LauncherFactory.create() it is looking up for TestExecutionListener like described here: https://github.com/allure-framework/allure-java/issues/63 So, the default Allure listener is set in META-INF in Allure dependency.

Is it possible to delete(do not initialize) it?

There is, but it's not merged yet I had a similar issue and added the fix for in Junit5 https://github.com/junit-team/junit5/issues/2181

Once this is merged, you should be able to add

junit.platform.execution.listeners.deactivate

Property in the junit-platform.properties file to deactivate Allure Listener

You'll have to wait for 5.7, till then, not sure what can be done
