Can not set reporterOptions from inside plugins

[nitzanashi]

Current behavior:

setting reporterOptions inside plugins/index.js does nothing.
also, reporterOptions is not part of ConfigOptions interface :/

Desired behavior:

setting reporterOptions inside plugins/index.js returns the settings as described.

Test code to reproduce

// plugins/index.js

module.exports = (on, config) => {
    return {
        ...config,
        reporterOptions: {
            test: true,
        },
    };
}

Versions

tested on 4.5.0

This may be a case where the reporterOptions on non-mutable at this point like in #6407, but I'm unaware of this situation.

I can see that the config is changed within the plugins, but not shown in the resolved Configuration - but console.log(Cypress.config('reporterOptions')) resolves with the correct value.

Are the new values passed to reporterOptions not taking effect at all?

Just to bring more information.
I saw that setting reporterOptions value as a string resolves correctly in configuration. It is only when setting an object inside of it that we get the null.

// plugins/index.js

module.exports = (on, config) => {
    return {
        ...config,
        reporterOptions: "This is just a test",
    };
}

Settings tab:

Can it be a somehow related to this previous issue #7959?

This seems to be working fine in 5.5.0.

@quad5 When reporterOptions is a string, it shows the value correctly, but when it's an object, it simply shows a null.

It is still an issue in cypress 7.2.0. Frustrating as we have our own config file 'extends' enhancement that relies on plugins processing of config files, and thus can't 'inherit' a reporterOptions object from an ancestor configFile due to this bug.
