I was using cypress with the cucumber-preprocessor plugin and importing the wrong path in the steps implementations. The correct importation is: import {Given, When, Then, Before} from 'cypress-cucumber-preprocessor/steps' But I was trying without the “s” in “steps” or with slash after steps, and receiving this fsevent error. Hope this help someone! @compassoLeonardo This actually helped me out, I am very thankful for you to share this!
