Updates @badeball/cypress-cucumber-preprocessor from 22.0.1 to 24.0.1

Release notes

Sourced from @​badeball/cypress-cucumber-preprocessor's releases.

v24.0.1

• Update dependency @​cucumber/pretty-formatter to v3.

  • This is not a breaking change, but warrants mentioning because the output is changed stylistically in some ways.

• Correctly handle edge case related to reload-behavior with run hooks, fixes #1344.

v24.0.0

Breaking changes:

• Removed support for using browserify as a bundler.

  • Browserify is largely unmaintained at this point and is making it impossible to keep dependencies up-to-date as Browserify itself does not do that. Furthermore, the Browserify bundler is deprecated by Cypress. If you'd still like to use Browserify, you can pin your dependency on @badeball/cypress-cucumber-preprocessor to ~23.x.y.

  • A branch named v23.x.y has been created to continue illustrating how to use Browserify. This is mentioned in the FAQ.

• Bump node requirement slightly from v20.0.0 to ^20.12.0, ^21.7.0 or >=22.

  • This is in preperation of replacing chalk with util.styleText.

Other changes:

• Run hooks (BeforeAll/AfterAll) may now be optionally named. This is in line with how cucumber-js behaves.

• Allow step hooks to return skipped / pending.

  • This is similar to how steps themselves can also return the above mentioned literals. This is in line with how cucumber-js behaves.

• Attachments (using log(), link() or attach()) can be added in test run hooks (BeforeAll/AfterAll). This is in line with how cucumber-js behaves.

• Remove use of patch-package in development mode, which was causing some issues, closes #1255.

• Add rudimentary support for videos in reports (messages & HTML), fixes #1139.

  • This can be enabled by setting attachments.addVideos to true.

  • Videos, as with screenshots, are base64-encoded inline within the reports, making them bigger. I suspect size might be an issue for large attachments and this is why I consider this to be rudimentary to begin with. As issues arise, options to externalize attachments might be considered.

v23.2.1

• Determine interactive mode correctly, fixes #1323.

v23.2.0

• Add a flag to turn expectation errors soft. Relates to #1313 and #1222.

  • During creation of message reports, which the JSON & HTML reports are products of, some test state is tracked by this library. This requires taking into account a myriad of edge cases, mostly related to Cypress' reload behavior. There are however likely several remaining edge cases that are unaccounted for.

    In case of #1222, the fail fast strategy adopted here appeared to mask an underlying issue. I suspect this might also be the case for #1313 and similar issues. Thus an option for erroring softly is introduced. With this option, instead of throwing fast in Cypress' event handlers, the preprocessor will emit an error message to stderr at the end of a run.

    My hope is that this will make it easier for the end-user to provide proper reproducible examples when running into these errors. Additionally, it can be useful for users whom which reports aren't strictly a necessity but do encounter such errors.

Very confused as to why a minor version bump to qs necessitates a major version bump to cypress 🤔

[adaball]

I was looking at this and seeing that the GitHub Workflow run was failing after the Cypress run had completed successfully.

I still don't know if it's a good idea to push this through as it bring Cypress to a new major version, however if anyone is looking at this and wondering why it's failing here is a Codex analysis on why the GitHub Workflow is failing after the Cypress run has completed successfully:

---

The line await preprocessor.afterRunHandler(config); is the Cucumber preprocessor’s teardown/finalization hook. In this repo it runs inside on("after:run", ...) in testing/regression/cypress.config.js, which is loaded by the workflow’s Cypress run step in .github/workflows/Regression-tests.yaml.

In practical terms, after cypress-io/github-action@v7 runs Cypress from testing/regression/, Cypress emits after:run. That handler then calls the Badeball Cucumber preprocessor so it can finish its run state and write report artifacts like reports/log.json, reports/messages.ndjson, and reports/cucumber-report.html. Cypress documents that after:run fires after cypress run, receives the run results, and awaits returned promises before continuing.

The likely problem is handler composition. This line already runs earlier:

await preprocessor.addCucumberPreprocessorPlugin(on, config);

That plugin registers its own after:run handler. Your config then registers another after:run handler and manually calls preprocessor.afterRunHandler(config). Badeball’s docs warn that its plugin owns lifecycle handlers including after:run, and custom handlers can override or conflict unless composed carefully.

Recommended shape:

await preprocessor.addCucumberPreprocessorPlugin(on, config, {
  omitAfterRunHandler: true,
});

on("after:run", async (results) => {
  if (results) {
    await preprocessor.afterRunHandler(config);
    await fs.writeFile("results.json", JSON.stringify(/* ... */));
  }
});

So the significance is: that line is preserving the Cucumber preprocessor’s report-finalization behavior inside your custom after:run hook. The CI failure means that finalization hook is throwing during the workflow’s Cypress run step, before your results.json write completes.
