How to get scenario name from a scenario outline in cypress gherkin setup? - cucumber

Question

Suppose I have a test case like -
Scenario: Scenario to verify Title Matched
When Navigate to the App "Facebook"
Then verify the "TitleName" Field
How could I get the scenario name from the step definition methods corresponding to " When Navigate to the App Facebook" and "Then verify the "TitleName" Field"
Step definitions methods are -
When('Navigate to the App {string} for demo',(AppURL:string)=>{
if(AppURL=="FaceBook"){
}
});
Then('verify the Title of the page for demo',()=>
{
SampleAPPUI.verfiyTitledemo('');
});
Note: I am using cypres-cucumber with typescript

I'm doing this in a Java-Selenium-Gherkin test suite. It may not be the solution you need, but it will give you some direction about how to get the values:
#BeforeStep
public void doSomethingBeforeStep(Scenario scenario) throws Exception {
testScenario = scenario.getName().toString();
scenarioObj = scenario;
Field f = scenario.getClass().getDeclaredField("testCase");
f.setAccessible(true);
TestCase r = (TestCase) f.get(scenario);
List<PickleStepTestStep> stepDefs = r.getTestSteps()
.stream()
.filter(x -> x instanceof PickleStepTestStep)
.map(x -> (PickleStepTestStep) x)
.collect(Collectors.toList());
PickleStepTestStep currentStepDef = stepDefs.get(currentStepIndex);
testCase = currentStepDef.getStepText();
}

This works perfectly for me, though I'm not using TS, the logic behind it should give you a good starting point:
function getScenarioName(){
const _onRunnableRun = Cypress.runner.onRunnableRun
Cypress.runner.onRunnableRun = function (runnableRun, runnable, args) {
const r = runnable
const isHook = r.type === 'hook'
const isAfterAllHook = isHook && r.hookName.match(/after all/)
const isBeforeHook = isHook && r.hookName.match(/before each/)
const test = r.ctx.currentTest || r
var testTitle = test.title //this is the test title
const next = args[0]
if (
isHook &&
r.ctx.currentTest &&
r.ctx.currentTest.trueFn &&
!isAfterAllHook
) {
return next.call(this)
}
const onNext = function (err) {
const fail = function () {
return next.call(this, err)
}
const noFail = function () {
test.err = null
return next.call(this)
}
if (err) {
if (test._retries === -1) {
test._retries = getDefaultRetries()
}
if (isBeforeHook && test._currentRetry < test._retries) {
test.trueFn = test.fn
test.fn = function () {
throw err
}
return noFail()
}
}
return fail()
}
args[0] = onNext
return _onRunnableRun.apply(this, [runnableRun, runnable, args])
}
}
