Expected to find global registry error on test case init

See original GitHub issue

Hi,

I recently updated our framework to use cypress 10.x, and typescript. Also changed to the latest cypress-cucumber-preprocessor from you, and I thank you for that for updating this package. Yesterday it was working perfectly. Today I did an npm update and it broke all of it. I was wondering why, and it pointed me to this package, where the error message said that I should report this as a bug, so I am doing that rn. 😃

I cannot give you an example repo unfortunately due to capacity, however maybe you can point out what is its problem with my package json after npm update, or maybe there is a bug you can see from that either way.

Thank you, you are awesome!
