How to use

This setup relies on the package cucumber-puppeteer to work properly.

Checkout this setup to see how you can use this in your project.

If you're using docker then you should checkout puppeteer-cucumber. It is a pre-build docker container for testing with cucumber and puppeteer. This package is also included so you can check for accessibility issues right away!
