System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException is throwing instead of actual step exception

[undron]

Consider this code:

        [AllureStep("This step should fail")]
        public static int FailedStep()
        {
            var x = 1;
            return 1 / (1 - x);
        }

        [Test]
        [AllureName("Should fail on step")]
        public void ReturnFail()
        {
            FailedStep();
        }

This test failed with exception:

System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException : Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.
  ----> System.DivideByZeroException : Attempted to divide by zero.

but should be failed with System.DivideByZeroException : Attempted to divide by zero.

@unickq Are there any plans to address this issue ? This is especially problematic when trying to handle exception thrown by other step methods:
Ex: trying to catch a timeout exception thrown by a WebDriverWait.

Hi, @vladdex
What runtime do you use?

@delatrie I'm reproducing this in dotnet 8.
Accessing the InnerException property of the TargetInvocationException reveals the actual exception.

Hello, I also faced this same issue, as a workaround, you can have a look at my solution in the discussion section of the Allure organization. It involves creating an aspect around the base aspect to handle this exception and unwrap it.
