Missing Step Implementation

[paulnaber]

Hello there,
currently I am trying to use the cypress-split plugin but I cannot manage it to work for every test.
We are using the @badeball/cypress-cucumber-preprocessor to be able to use cucumber.

The cypress config is configured like that:

import { addCucumberPreprocessorPlugin } from '@badeball/cypress-cucumber-preprocessor';
import browserify from '@badeball/cypress-cucumber-preprocessor/browserify';
import { defineConfig } from 'cypress';

const { initPlugin } = require('cypress-plugin-snapshots/plugin');
const cypressSplit = require('cypress-split');

async function setupNodeEvents(on: Cypress.PluginEvents, config: Cypress.PluginConfigOptions): Promise<Cypress.PluginConfigOptions> {
    cypressSplit(on, config);
    // This is required for the preprocessor to be able to generate JSON reports after each run, and more,
    await addCucumberPreprocessorPlugin(on, config);

    initPlugin(on, config);

    on(
        'file:preprocessor',
        browserify(config, {
            typescript: require.resolve('typescript'),
        }),
    );

    // Make sure to return the config object as it might have been modified by the plugin.
    return config;
}

export default defineConfig({
    e2e: {
        fixturesFolder: './src/fixtures',
        supportFile: 'src/support/e2e.ts',
        specPattern: '**/*.feature',
        video: false,
        videosFolder: './cypress/videos/',
        watchForFileChanges: false,
        screenshotOnRunFailure: true,
        screenshotsFolder: '../../dist/cypress/apps/my-portal-e2e/screenshots',
        baseUrl: 'http://localhost:4201',
        chromeWebSecurity: false,
        viewportWidth: 1980,
        viewportHeight: 1080,
        requestTimeout: 10000,
        experimentalRunAllSpecs: true,
        retries: 4,
        experimentalMemoryManagement: true,
        env: {
            TAGS: 'not @skip',
            'cypress-plugin-snapshots': {
                imageConfig: {
                    threshold: 0.01,
                    thresholdType: 'percent',
                },
            },
        },
        setupNodeEvents,
        excludeSpecPattern: ['**/__snapshots__/*', '**/__image_snapshots__/*'],
    },
});

The gitlab ci is configured like that:

.cypress-template:
    image: cypress/base:16.14.2-slim
    stage: test
    tags:
        - cypress
    rules:
        - if: $CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE == "schedule"
          when: never
        - if: $CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE == "merge_request_event" || $CI_COMMIT_BRANCH == "develop"
          when: always
    artifacts:
        when: always
        expire_in: 1 day
        paths:
            - apps/my-portal-e2e/cypress/screenshots/**/*.*
            - apps/my-portal-e2e/cypress/videos/**/*.*
            - app/my-portal-e2e/src/e2e/**/__image_snapshots__/*

cypress-portal-split:
    extends: .cypress-template
    parallel: 13
    script:
        - npm run cypress:install
        - npm run e2e:portal:split
cypress-portal2-split:
    extends: .cypress-template
    parallel: 1
    script:
        - npm run cypress:install
        - npm run e2e:portal2:split

The cucumber preprocessor rc looks like this:

{
    "stepDefinitions": ["src/e2e/[filepath]/**/*.{js,ts}", "src/e2e/common/**/*.{js,ts}", "../../e2e/common/**/*.{js,ts}"],
    "filterSpecs": false,
    "omitFiltered": true,
    "json": {
        "output": "./cypress/cucumber-reports/cucumber-json/cucumber.json",
        "enabled": true
    }
}

In the Pipeline, half of the jobs fail:

The error is alway the same:

Somehow, the specs are not there.
What could be the problem here?
