explicit user configuration is not loaded in 20.0.5

[yodarx]

Current behavior

Since version 20.0.5 no explicit user configuration is loaded from package.json is loaded.
When I place the configuration in .cypress-cucumber-preprocessorrc.json within the cypress directory it works.

Debug Log with Version 20.0.5:

cypress-cucumber-preprocessor resolved no explicit user configuration +1ms

Debug Log with Version 20.0.4

cypress-cucumber-preprocessor resolved explicit user configuration { stepDefinitions: [ './integration/common/*.ts' ] } +2ms

Desired behavior

User configuration in package.json is recognized.

Works seemingly fine as far as I can see. You need to provide a minimal, reproducible example.

I'm experiencing a similar issue (common step definitions not found), although our custom configuration is placed in cypress-cucumber-preprocessor.config.js, and not in package.json 🙂. Downgrading to 20.0.4 fixes it.

Here's an example illustrating configuration using package.json and here's a similar example using cypress-cucumber-preprocessor.config.js. They both work, so I'm guessing you're doing something that you're not telling me about.

The purpose of a reproducible example is that it's unambiguous and you need to provide it.

Hello,

I think this issue is linked to cosmicconfig package version 8.3.6 to 9.0.0 and the structure of your project.
searchStrategy is none by default and your configuration is located in root package.json.

Can you try creating a package.json file located in project-e2e with your configuration :
"cypress-cucumber-preprocessor": { "nonGlobalStepDefinitions": true, "stepDefinitions": [ "./integration/common/*.ts" ] }

@badeball Could you please have a look also ? :)

@badeball based on what @florianbnd said, are you planning on adding the option to set searchStrategy to project?

Creating separate package.json files for all my e2e projects feels like a lot off overkill right now.

Thank you!

@florianbnd, I'm aware of the changelog, but I don't make any changes based on a hunch. Instead, I'd really like for someone to just provide some information indicating that that is indeed the issue being observed. @warri93 has done so now, hence the change. This has been added with v20.0.6.
