What happened?

Running tests with Cucumber, a duplicated step definition is causing the following behavior on Allure Report:

• Test suddenly stops right after start execute duplicated step
• Test pass successfully
• All the remaining steps are skipped

What is your expected behavior?

Catch the error and print the cause in the log file, example: "Test has failed due following duplicated step! 'Step:I add attribute on xxxx Sidebar'"

How to reproduce the bug.

1. Create a project with cucumber and Allure
2. Create 2 step definitions with the same name
3. Create 2 scenarios at least
4. Add the duplicated steps on scenarios
5. Run all the scenarios using the duplicated steps
6. Run allure command to generate the report

Hi @josiasvfigueredo1985, I tried to reproduce your issue. I had the error below in execution terminal and in allure report :

[chrome 127.0.6533.100 Windows 10 #0-0] Multiple step definitions match:
[chrome 127.0.6533.100 Windows 10 #0-0] Multiple step definitions match:
[chrome 127.0.6533.100 Windows 10 #0-0]   I fail test - file:\C:\2-gitlab\end-to-end-tests-wdio\src\steps\given.js:84
[chrome 127.0.6533.100 Windows 10 #0-0]   I fail test - file:\C:\2-gitlab\end-to-end-tests-wdio\src\steps\given.js:89

In allure

      "status": "broken",
      "statusDetails": {
        "message": "Multiple step definitions match:",
        "trace": "Multiple step definitions match:\n  I fail test - file:\\C:\\2-gitlab\\end-to-end-tests-wdio\\src\\steps\\given.js:84\n  I 
         fail test - file:\\C:\\2-gitlab\\end-to-end-tests-wdio\\src\\steps\\given.js:89"
      },

I think this error displayed matches with your expected behavior, isn't it? Or you have another behavior

[josiasvfigueredo1985]

Yes, that's the expect behavior, thank you!!!!
