Question - Does badeball/ cypress-cucumber-preprocessor aupport async/await?

[rakeshnambiar]

Current behavior

When I tried the provided example with aync it throw the error

Cucumber preprocessor detected that you returned a native promise from a function handler, this is not supported. Using async / await is generally speaking not supported when using Cypress, period, preprocessor or not.

Desired behavior

I am trying to do something like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5faeSbvCJQY because in real world scenarios mostly I will have to write custom functions and ensure the synchronous execution

Test code to reproduce

1. Clone th example provided in this same repository (link provided above)
2. Replace the contents in the duckduckgo.js as below

const { When, Then } = require("@badeball/cypress-cucumber-preprocessor");

When("I visit duckduckgo.com", async () => {
  cy.visit("https://duckduckgo.com/");
});

Then("I should see a search bar", async () => {
  cy.get("input[type=text]")
    .should("have.attr", "placeholder")
    .and(
      "match",
      /Search the web without being tracked|Search without being tracked/
    );

  assert.deepEqual({}, {});
});
