Cannot read property 'signals' of undefined - Windows, Node LTS, latest versions of cypress ad preprocessor

[mastrobardo]

On windows, with latest version, tests are failing because of the error in the title

Current behavior

Cannot read property 'signals' of undefined

When Cypress detects uncaught errors originating from your test code it will automatically fail the current test.

Cypress could not associate this error to any specific test.

We dynamically generated a new test to display this failure.

Desired behavior

Tests should run, fail or success status are not important. I'm using a really basic test on the line 'i can open google'. Even running only the 'Given' bit gives the same result, cypress open or cypress run ( electron and google) gives the same result.
Running through npx or package script is the same

game.spec.js

import { Given, Then, And } from 'cypress-cucumber-preprocessor/steps';
import cy from "cypress";

const url = 'http://localhost:3006';
const configUrl = 'http://localhost:3000/config';

Given('I am on game main page', () => {
    cy.visit(url);
})

And('the config server is running', () => {
    cy.request(configUrl).should((response) => {
        expect(response.status).to.eq(200)
        expect(response).to.have.property('headers')
        expect(response).to.have.property('items')
      })
})

Then('Im presented with a list of item', () => {
    cy.get('[data-testid^=game-item"]').should('have.length', 5)
})

game.feature

Feature: Game is rendered

    Scenario: I want to open the game page with no errors
        Given I am on game main page
        And the config server is running
        Then Im presented with a list of item
        And A recap section is visible but empty

Versions

• Cypress version": cypress": "^7.1.0",
• Preprocessor version: "cypress-cucumber-preprocessor": "^4.1.0",
• Node version: LTS

I saw there are several bugs online for human-signal on windows. That may be the cause ... but could not debug it further, apologies.

me too, getting the same error after install es lint not sure it related or not.

I also face the same issue on mac though

[pranitmahajan]

This error was resolved to me when I set nonGlobalStepDefinitions to true in package.json

"cypress-cucumber-preprocessor": {
"nonGlobalStepDefinitions": true
}

Because of this change, I did moved all step definitions and feature files to their default location.

Have you resolved this?

My friends, I had the same problem, in my case I use cypress with cucumber, I believe you also use it, strangely it was created in a steps file a line automatically 'import cypress from "cypress";'
I just removed this import and my problem was solved, I hope I helped someone in this situation.

[sbarbat]

Remove import cy from "cypress"; from your game.spec.js file

[noamSchwarz42]

Removing import cy from "cypress"; solved the issue for me

[mithilesh777]

This might be an issue, please check this in your code

Due to personal reasons, the previous maintainers of this package are stepping down and handing the reigns over to me, a long-time contributor to the project and a user of it myself. This is a responsibility I'm very excited about. Furthermore, I'd like to thank @lgandecki ++ for all the work that they've done so far.
