I have created a project framework using Typescript and Cucumber BDD approach. The executions within the project are working and the cucumber html reports are also getting generated when executions are getting passed, but when the things are failing due to some reason(whether assertion reason in my case) the reports are not getting generated within the specified folder.
Below are some key points to look upon;

}const reporter = require("cucumber-html-reporter");
const options = {
theme: "bootstrap",
jsonFile: "report/report.json",
output: "report/cucumber-html-report.html",
reportSuiteAsScenarios: true,
launchReport: false,
};
reporter.generate(options);A point to consider is that report.json is getting created in case of failure also but only html report isn't getting created on failure.
In order to generate html reports in failure please try to add below code in your cucumber.js file.
In common add "--require report.js", This helps in creating in both passed and failed cases
For reference
const common = --require runner/hooks.js --require features/support/steps.js --require report.js;
module.exports = {
default: ${common} features/**/*.feature
};
