+Feature: @bugsnag/plugin-koa (koa v1.x support) autoDetectErrors=false
+
+Background:
+  Given I store the api key in the environment variable "BUGSNAG_API_KEY"
+  And I store the notify endpoint in the environment variable "BUGSNAG_NOTIFY_ENDPOINT"
+  And I store the sessions endpoint in the environment variable "BUGSNAG_SESSIONS_ENDPOINT"
+  And I start the service "koa-1x-disabled"
+  And I wait for the host "koa-1x-disabled" to open port "80"
+
+Scenario: a synchronous thrown error in a route
+  Given I open the URL "http://koa-1x-disabled/err"
+  Then I should receive no errors
+
+Scenario: An error created with with ctx.throw()
+  Given I open the URL "http://koa-1x-disabled/ctx-throw"
+  Then I should receive no errors
+
+Scenario: an error thrown before the requestHandler middleware
+  Given I open the URL "http://koa-1x-disabled/error-before-handler"
+  Then I should receive no errors
+
+Scenario: throwing non-Error error
+  Given I open the URL "http://koa-1x-disabled/throw-non-error"
+  Then I should receive no errors
+
+Scenario: A non-5XX error created with ctx.throw()
+  Given I open the URL "http://koa-1x-disabled/ctx-throw-400"
+  Then I should receive no errors
+  When I wait to receive a session
+  Then the session is valid for the session reporting API version "1" for the "Bugsnag Node" notifier
+  And the session payload has a valid sessions array
+  And the sessionCount "sessionsStarted" equals 1
+
+Scenario: A handled error with ctx.bugsnag.notify()
+  Given I open the URL "http://koa-1x-disabled/handled"
+  When I wait to receive an error
+  Then the error is valid for the error reporting API version "4" for the "Bugsnag Node" notifier
+  And the event "unhandled" is false
+  And the event "severity" equals "warning"
+  And the exception "errorClass" equals "Error"
+  And the exception "message" equals "handled"
+  And the exception "type" equals "nodejs"
+  And the "file" of stack frame 0 equals "scenarios/app-disabled.js"
+  And the event "request.url" equals "http://koa-1x-disabled/handled"
+  And the event "request.httpMethod" equals "GET"
+  And the event "request.clientIp" is not null
