chimp: No error feedback when using Cucumber and webdriverio

Chimp seems to abstract away the feedback from the testing framworks.

  @watch
  Scenario: As a user I want to add an event to the diary
	Signing out...
  - Given I open the url "/diary"

Failures:

1) Scenario: As a user I want to add an event to the diary - features/diary.feature:6
   Step: Before
   Step Definition: features/steps/global.js:10
   Message:
     TypeError: Cannot read property 'trim' of undefined
         at World.<anonymous> (features/steps/global.js:14:8)

I’ve used webdriver and cucumber before on their own and this would have returned something along the lines of could not find selector '.logout_link' The same goes for the ruby capybara port.

Surely we should pass these errors forward. It makes it a nightmare to work with.

or am I missing something here

here is the args I pass in.

“test”: “chimp --chai --compiler=js:babel-register --jsonOutput=cucumber_output.json”,

Expected behaviour

When I add a browser.click('selector') to my test steps And I run the test on a page where this selector does not exist Then I expect to be told in the command line that the element does not exist

Actual behaviour

When I add a browser.click('selector') to my test steps And I run the test on a page where this selector does not exist Then i get the error TypeError: Cannot read property 'trim' of undefined returned
