Cucumber testing example is not running - cucumber

Question

I have setup a working nightwatch environment and now want to use cucumber for testing. I have followed this guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jdlsv0CQ2CY&t=22s. No matter what I try I cannot get the test to work, I get this as output:
> cucumberpractice#1.0.0 test /Users/kieran/Documents/cucumberPractice
> cucumber-js --require cucumber.conf.js --require step-definitions --format node_modules/cucumber-pretty

How do I fix this?

Answer 1

you might giving the path wrong for step definition file in your package.json file,
"scripts": {
"test": "cucumber-js --require cucumber.conf.js --require step-definitions --format node_modules/cucumber-pretty"
},
for example my, here is my code in package,json,
"scripts": {
"test": "cucumber-js --require cucumber.conf.js --require tests --format node_modules/cucumber-pretty"
},
"--require tests": here "test" is the location folder where my feature file and my step definition files are exist.
