@Before and @After skipped - Zerocode - Testrail

Hello,

I am new to zerocode and Junit.
I was trying to integrate my test runs with testrail using Junit and Zerocde.
I refered : https://github.com/swtestacademy/TestRailsIntegration

When I run it as plain JUnit test. it works fine. But when I run it along zerocode(@TargetEnv, @Scenario, ZeroCodeUnitRunner.class) then @Before and @After is skipped due to which my testcase in testRail does not execute.

Also, is there a way by which I can store my request and response of a step to a java variable that can be consumed somewhere else? i want to add that to test case ids in TestRail.

~ Please forgive if my question is lame.
