E/launcher - Error: TypeError: Cucumber.Cli is not a function

While implementing BDD I developed a test using protractor, cucumber and protractor-cucumber framework.

I don't know what to do with the index.js file.

While running the tests I'm getting the error:

"E/launcher - Error: TypeError: Cucumber.Cli is not a function"

I am using:

Here is the detailed error message:

[email protected] has some breaking changes to the cucumber cli, this is breaking the protractor-cucumber-framework which is written using an older version of cucumber.

An issue has already been logged in the official protractor-cucumber-framework github repo.

Work Around for now would be to downgrade your cucumber version.

I had this problem yesterday - for some reason it doesnt work work when installing [email protected]

I believe its because when installing protractor-cucumber-framework its says : UNMET PEER DEPENDENCY [email protected]

so seems this version of cucumber is incompatible.

I did: npm install --save-dev [email protected]

Then it worked. I believe this is a protractor-cucumber-framework problem
