Error when running Cucumber test scenario in RubyMine

Question

For full transparency, I started learning about Cucumber an hour ago. I've been following a concise tutorial on using Selenium in Ruby with Cucumber and I've had no issues until this point.

In essence, I'm trying to run a test scenario(?) but I am receiving this error:

C:\Ruby27-x64\bin\ruby.exe -EUTF-8 C:\Ruby27-x64\bin\cucumber C:/Users/kanwo/RubymineProjects/untitled/features/1.feature --format Teamcity::Cucumber::Formatter --expand --color -r features

Errors are usually pretty straight-forward but I don't feel I know enough about frameworks(? again, bare with me as I've just jumped into this) so I did some research and found that this has been an issue for a while, as per these instances:

This first link is ugly, you've been warned

2015, Instance 1

2015, Instance 2

2015, Instance 3

2018, Instance 4

2020, Instance 5

2021, Instance 6

2021, 9 days ago, Instance 7

Granted, these aren't all exactly the same error(s) as mine, but they seem to share a theme; versions.

So from my understanding, this is a conflict between versions of Cucumber, RubyMine, and TeamCity. With that said, am I essentially out of luck here? Can I perform this in something like VSCode instead? I don't like to just dump questions into forums if I don't have to but I can't even begin to know where to start to figure this out.

Also, if it helps, this is what I was running:

Answer 1

I faced same issue but solved by updating Run settings in RubyMine as per below steps:

Run->Edit Configurations->Templates->Cucumber->Configuration-> Runner Options as "--color -r features -f pretty"

Answer 2

This is a RubyMine bug. Nothing we can fix on the Cucumber end.

You can either consult a non-recommended monkeypatch / hack. Or downgrade to an early version of Cucumber5.

See https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/RUBY-27294 for more information, including other possible workarounds and a time-frame for the fix from Jetbrains.
