Overriding step definitions

[raj-balaebail]

I am trying to implement an inheritance/override model where I want to have a 'generic' step definition which will be imported in and specific steps overridden as necessary.

I was able to import the step definitions from my generic file, but the override (I used the same step definition name) seems to not be overriding the step definitions.
ex:
Generic file

Given('User navigates to x page', async () => {
  await pAPage.navigateTo('x')
});

Specific/inherited file

Given('User navigates to x page', async () => {
  await pAPage.navigateTo('y')
});

PS: Our software has a number of applications that are all similar but vary (differently) a bit from the base configuration based on the client. Having to define the common steps multiple times will create a maintenance nightmare. Hence we want to group the common step definitions in the generic file and import/override by client as needed.

Appreciate all the help in advance.

@rquellh I would appreciate if you can look in to this !! A potential solution (although I didn't find a equivalent in JS is https://github.com/makandra/cucumber_priority)
