Test artifacts on android sometimes fail to save with `adb: error: cannot create file/directory`

[possible-evan]

What happened?

With test artifacts enabled we often see errors when it tries to write the video artifact. The result is an empty directory for the test case without any video included. This is intermittent and only some tests fail to save artifacts.

Example output

21:21:33.317 detox[17864] i adb: error: cannot create file/directory 'e2e_artifacts/✗ Test Name/test.mp4': No such file or directory

What was the expected behaviour?

Test artifacts are saved to disk/storage after tests.

Was it tested on latest Detox?

• I have tested this issue on the latest Detox release and it still reproduces.

Did your test throw out a timeout?

• I have followed the instructions under Identifying which synchronization mechanism causes us to wait too much.

Help us reproduce this issue!

This is our detox artifacts config

artifacts: {
    rootDir: 'e2e_artifacts/',
    plugins: {
      log: {
        enabled: true,
      },
      video: {
        enabled: true,
        keepOnlyFailedTestsArtifacts: true,
      },
      screenshot: {
        enabled: true,
        keepOnlyFailedTestsArtifacts: true,
      },
    },
  },

In what environment did this happen?

Detox version: 20.34.4
React Native version: 0.75.4
Has Fabric (React Native's new rendering system) enabled: no
Node version: 18.19.1
