Describe the bug

No screenshot is captured when cucumber test failed. With same configuration failed nightwatch test is capturing screenshot. Tested with Nightwatch-CucumberJS Boilerplate and getting same screenshot issue

Sample test

sampleTest.js

// Please add the sample test here

const {When, Before} = require('@cucumber/cucumber');
const assert = require('assert').strict;
When(/^I test my step for assert fail$/, function() {
        assert.strictEqual(true,false,new TypeError("Expected and Actual values are not matching"));
    });

Run with command

$ node nightwatch.js -c config/nightwatch.webdriver.cucumber.conf.js -e chrome

Verbose output

debug.log

<!-- Include the verbose output, if possible (run nightwatch with `--verbose` argument) -->

The sample case doesn't show that a url has been open so I don't know what we are taking a screenshot of.

Tested with below step definition

const {When, Before} = require('@cucumber/cucumber');
const assert = require('assert').strict;
When(
    /^I test my step for assert fail$/, async function() {
        await browser.url("https://www.google.com");
        assert.strictEqual(true,false,new TypeError("Expected and Actual values are not matching"));
    });

console output is

$ node nightwatch.js -c config/nightwatch.webdriver.cucumber.conf.js --browser chrome
{
  _: [],
  c: 'config/nightwatch.webdriver.cucumber.conf.js',
  config: 'config/nightwatch.webdriver.cucumber.conf.js',
  browser: 'chrome',
  env: 'chrome',

  r: 'junit',
  '$0': 'C:\\MyInstalledProgram\\nodejs\\node.exe C:\\GartnerWorkspace\\cpp_framework\\cppdocs_v2.0\\nightwatch.js',

No screenshots on failure when cucumber used. nightwatch v2.3.4 cucumber v8.5.1 (cucumber v8.5.2 does not work at all)

[ymatviikiv]

The same here with nightwatch 2.3.0 and @cucumber/cucumber 8.5.1

[ymatviikiv]

Hello, maybe someone will need those... I've added a workaround, directly taking a screenshot in after hooks if the status of a test is failed:

if (options.result.status === "failed" || "FAILED") {
        browser.saveScreenshot(`./screenshots/${global.config.testRail_ID}.png`)
