Expected there to be a timestamp for current step

[topesho]

Hi @badeball I am having this issue with when you run the command -e.g. npm run test or npx cypress run -e TAGS='@home' --headed .

The test only runs from the Cypress dashboard with npx cypress open.

CypressError: cy.task('cypress-cucumber-preprocessor:test-case-started') failed with the following error:

state.messages.current.findLastIndex is not a function

https://on.cypress.io/api/task

Error: Expected there to be a timestamp for current step (this might be a bug, please report at https://github.com/badeball/cypress-cucumber-preprocessor)

Because this error occurred during a after each hook we are skipping the remaining tests in the current suite:

An error was thrown in your plugins file while executing the handler for the after:spec event.

The error we received was:

node version 17.5.0

I am using the following
package.json.

state.messages.current.findLastIndex is not a function

This is answered in the FAQ.

As for the following error:

Expected there to be a timestamp for current step (this might be a bug, please report at https://github.com/badeball/cypress-cucumber-preprocessor)

.. you need to provide a reproducible example and not just snippets of what information you think is relevant.

[topesho]

ok will provide the example project on Monday

[badeball]

I recommend that you just update your node version as per the FAQ, before trying anything else.

Closing due to lack of a reproducible example. Feel free to open up another issue if anything changes in this regard.
