From the output there it looks like you might have the old “cucumber” module installed, maybe globally?

Can you try removing that?

I've personally never been able to get cucumber-js to invoke that way in Windows PowerShell. When I try I get a different error than OP - specifically the global installed warning even though that is entirely erroneous. Further the script works just fine if invoked through npm test
