New Gherkin reporter throwing Exception "Cannot read property 'concat' of undefined"

[kabomi]

Hi @Arthy000,

I'm trying to use your new reporters and I'm not able to make them to work.

It looks like this line is failing across several report files (e.g. gtc-reporter-list.js:75):

meta.steps
      .map((step) => keywords[step.type].concat(step.text))

As you can see on the Screenshot, I'm printing the content of meta. It is supposed to have steps with a property 'type' with either of the keys contained here: { Context: 'Given ', Action: 'When ', Outcome: 'Then ' }. But I'm getting undefined

This is how it looks my step code:

import { Before, Given, Then, When } from '@cucumber/cucumber';
...
Then(/^a field helper text message is shown with the text "(.+)"$/, async (test, [message]) => {
    await t.expect(await activityPage.getHelperErrorMessageFrom('field-selection')).contains(message);
});

package.json relevant dependencies:

"@cucumber/cucumber-expressions": "^15.2.0",
"@cucumber/cucumber": "8.2.2",
"testcafe": "~1.19.0"
"testcafe-reporter-cucumber-json": "6.3.0",

Command that I'm executing:
gherkin-testcafe chrome e2e/**/*.steps.ts e2e/features/**/*.feature --debug-on-fail -r gtc-reporter-list,cucumber-json:.cucumber-stdout-ignore --config-file .testcaferc.local.json --tags @List,@Details,@Filter,@Create,@Edit,@Error,@Translation

I've tried to use only one reporter (via command line -r gtc-reporter-list) but same error dropped.

I've also tried to use the standard reporter (no command line -r argument) but same error dropped.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi @kabomi
You are the second one to get this but I don't see how it could be, because the type value comes straight from the gherkin parser provided by Cucumber.

Could you show me your Feature file too? Maybe there's something there.

Meanwhile you can use spec instead of the custom reporter by setting -r spec in the CLI (or runner.reporter("spec") if you're using the API)

The new version I just released will fix the issue, but you will have no information about the type of step because the gherkin compiler returns undefined, so I'm keeping this ticket open to investigate that

[Arthy000]

Forgot to add the fix to all the reporters, so version 5.4.2 it is

[kabomi]

I tested version 5.4.2 and now it works 👍

P.S. It looks that there is a break-line missing between the Feature description and the first step description

[Arthy000]

Indeed, will fix that in next version
