How to get Scenario name from cucumber js?

In case of error I want to be able to log the scenario name. I'm using cucumber.js and node.

Feature file

Scenario: As me I can go to google

Given that I have a computer

When I go to google

Then I see wondrous stuff

I have tried the code below, but the name comes back as an empty string.

When(/^I go to google$/, (scenario) => {
// do something
var scenarioName = scenario.name;
});

By stepping through the code I can see that it's a function. It has :

[[FunctionLocation]] = Object

[[Scopes]] = Scopes(6)

length = 2

name= ""

I found the scenario name using below code

console.log(`The scenario is ${JSON.stringify(scenario.pickle.name)}.`);

I could get the scenario name using this code:

Before((scenario: any) => {
    console.log(`Starting scenario ${scenario.sourceLocation.uri}:${scenario.sourceLocation.line} (${scenario.pickle.name})`);
});

As you can see, there's more in there than just the scenario name. The entire test, with all the steps, tags, etc is in the object. I'm using CucumberJS 5.0.3.

It seems like you can't do this in a Given or When, it has to be done in the Before or After hook:

Before((scenario) => {
const scenarioName = scenario.name;
console.log(`${scenarioName}`);
});
