Unable to generate code coverage report

[fwpascual]

👓 What did you see?

When enabling code coverage, it fails to generate a code coverage report and fails the build

✅ What did you expect to see?

A successful build and code coverage report

📦 Which version are you using?

4.9.0

🔬 How could we reproduce it?

A sample project has been created to demonstrate the issue:
https://github.com/fwpascual/cucumber-coverage-sample

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Download the provided repo
2. Run ./gradlew clean cAT
3. See error in output.

The above project is based off of a sample from the Android test samples:
https://github.com/android/testing-samples/tree/main/runner/AndroidTestOrchestratorWithTestCoverageSample

🤔 Anything else?

I suspect the issue is in the android test framework, but logging here in case there's any ideas. The android-test repo issue can be found here:
android/android-test#1319

The following are some additional details:

Get a failure during the :app:createDebugAndroidTestCoverageReport gradle task

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':app:createDebugAndroidTestCoverageReport'.
> A failure occurred while executing com.android.build.gradle.internal.coverage.JacocoReportTask$JacocoReportWorkerAction
   > Unable to generate Jacoco report

Inspecting the folder under app/build/outputs/code_coverage/debugAndroidTest/connected/Pixel_4_XL_API_31(AVD) - 12, I see a Sample\ Feature#Sample\ Scenario.ec file, but it's zero bytes. When I look for this same file on the emulator, I see the same file under /sdcard/googletest/internal_use/data/data/com.example.android.testing.androidtestorchestratorsample/coverage_data/Sample Feature#Sample Scenario.ec with a 123 byte file.

Running the :app:connectedDebugAndroidTest task, I don't get a failure, and at this point the .ec file is also in the above described emulator device folder, however, I see this error in the gradle build log:

> Task :app:connectedDebugAndroidTest
