New cypress-cucumber-preprocessor 1.19.0 + cypress/webpack-preprocessor = error when executing tests

https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/5998

New cypress-cucumber-preprocessor - version 1.19.0 (https://github.com/TheBrainFamily/cypress-cucumber-preprocessor) and cypress/webpack-preprocessor is causing an error when trying to execute tests.

Everything is working when using Cypress 3.7.0 and cypress-cucumber-preprocessor 1.18.0. I have the same error when I am using Cypress 3.7.0 and cypress-cucumber-preprocessor 1.19.0. But it looks like I get it working when using Cypress 3.8.0 and cypress-cucumber-preprocessor 1.18.0 so it looks like it is an issue in cypress-cucumber-preprocessor 1.19.0 😃

Error: (I had to remove some data from paths so the error is edited a little bit)

Oops...we found an error preparing this test file:

  cypress\features\XXXX.feature

The error was:

This occurred while Cypress was compiling and bundling your test code. This is usually caused by:

- A missing file or dependency
- A syntax error in the file or one of its dependencies

Fix the error in your code and re-run your tests.
