Cypress Object.statSync Error (Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'uid'))

Current behavior

Today

Notes:

1. Tried reinstalling cypress
2. Tried clearing cypress cache
3. Tried a new version of Cypress

• Remove the node_modules folder & package-lock file from the repo
• npm i
• ‘npx cypress open’
• Click on a spec/feature file
• The runner output the following

Yes! Thank you. It was something completely different, but in the end - my problem. Thanks for the help!

Doc in the cucumber repo changed. Changing my former code with the documented one solved it for me. I changed path.resolve(‘…’) by path.resolve(‘.’) because it suitted better my situation.
