New Cypress 3.8.0 + cypress-cucumber-preprocessor + cypress/webpack-preprocessor = error when executing tests

[Lukaszli]

New Cypress 3.8.0 with cypress-cucumber-preprocessor and cypress/webpack-preprocessor is causing an error when trying to execute tests.

Everything is working when using Cypress 3.7.0 and cypress-cucumber-preprocessor 1.18.0. I also tried using new cypress-cucumber-preprocessor 1.19.0 which returned the same result.

Error:
(I had to remove some data from paths so the error is edited a little bit)

Oops...we found an error preparing this test file:

  cypress\features\XXXX.feature

The error was:

This occurred while Cypress was compiling and bundling your test code. This is usually caused by:

- A missing file or dependency
- A syntax error in the file or one of its dependencies

Fix the error in your code and re-run your tests.

This error is referencing this function from cypress-cucumber-preprocessor. https://github.com/TheBrainFamily/cypress-cucumber-preprocessor/blob/ff1f41ff53036356ee682253b88cdccdb77b0bd5/lib/createTestsFromFeature.js#L5

Can you provide your setup? plugins/index.js, support/index.js, etc? Also how you are requiring the module in your test/feature file?

[Lukaszli]

In /cypress/plugins/index.js I have:

const cucumber = require('cypress-cucumber-preprocessor').default;

module.exports = (on, config) => {
  on('file:preprocessor', webpack(wpOptions), cucumber());

In /cypress/support/index.js I don't have anything related to cypress-cucumber-preprocessor

My feature files are written in Gherkin and my step_definitions are using:

import { Given } from 'cypress-cucumber-preprocessor/steps';

I have the same error when I am using Cypress 3.7.0 and cypress-cucumber-preprocessor 1.19.0.
But it looks like I get it working when using Cypress 3.8.0 and cypress-cucumber-preprocessor 1.18.0 so it looks like it is an issue in cypress-cucumber-preprocessor 1.19.0 :)

Sorry for bothering you, I will create an issue on cypress-cucumber-preprocessor github.

[lgandecki]

yeah this is a known regression, the newest version - released 3 days ago, apparently doesn't work with windows - we've had a few tickets about this already. I'd recommend to use 1.18.0 for now - the change in 1.19.0 is not something you'd need, if you didn't need it so far. I don't have windows handy to debug this properly, I think I will just revert that change for now. this issue can be closed here.

[jennifer-shehane]

Closing as an issue in cypress-cucumber-preprocessor 1.19.0. Follow this issue for progress. badeball/cypress-cucumber-preprocessor#291
