Run jest-cucumber with another test runner

Vitest

Use option globals: true

If you activate the globals: true option in your vitest configuration or via the --globals option, then you don't need to do anything jest-cucumber will work without any further manipulation.

import { defineConfig } from 'vitest/config';

export default defineConfig({
  test: {
    globals: true,
    // ...
  },
});

Use option globals: false

If you keep the globals: false option in your vitest configuration then you need to pass vitest describe and test methods to jest-cucumber.

When calling the loadFeature or loadFeatures function, you can inject the describe and test functions via option.runner, as in the example below:

// scenario.steps.js
import { describe, test } from 'vitest';
import { loadFeature, defineFeature } from 'jest-cucumber';

const feature = loadFeature(
  'scenario.feature',
  {
    runner: {
      describe,
      test,
    }
  },
);

defineFeature(feature, (test) => {
  test('scenario', ({ given, when, then }) => {
    given('given', () => {
      // ...
    });

    when('when', () => {
      // ...
    });

    then('when', () => {
      // ...
    });
  });
});

To avoid having to keep repeating yourself, you can use your setupFiles to globally inject the describe and test methods via the setJestCucumberConfiguration function.

// vitest.setup.ts
import { describe, test } from 'vitest';
import { setJestCucumberConfiguration } from 'jest-cucumber';

setJestCucumberConfiguration({
  runner: {
    describe,
    test,
  }
});
