Setting output:false in nightwatch.conf.js is not disabling navigation output messages ℹ Loaded url ...

Describe the bug

Setting output: false in the nightwatch.conf.js file is not working for navigation output.

I am using cucumber test runner using these configs:

module.exports = {
  output: false,

  test_runner: {
    // set cucumber as the runner
    type: 'cucumber',
    ...
  }
}

Based on the documentation, and the code in https://github.com/nightwatchjs/nightwatch/blob/19ce6375c1284d4609e7f8a6b3dab07bb1e3790a/lib/api/protocol/url.js, I am expecting messages like below not to appear: ℹ Loaded url http://localhost:3002

It seems as if this.settings.output is not receiving the false value set in the nightwatch.conf.js

Environment

Executable	Version
nightwatch --version	2.2.3
npm --version	6.14.15
node --version	14.18.1

Browser driver	Version
NAME	VERSION
chromedriver	103

OS	Version
NAME	VERSION
macOS Big Sur	11.6.5

Some more context, I added console.log('this.settings.output:', this.settings.output) in lib/api/protocol/url.js And even though I have { output: false } in my nightwatch.conf.js the console.log still outputs this.settings.output: true

Some more notes I found.

Looks like the file where the issue is at is cucumber-js/_setup_cucumber_runner.js

When the client is created, this line is not taking into account the output setting from nightwatch.conf.js:

this.client = Nightwatch.createClient({
    ...
    output: !this.parameters['disable-output'],
    ...
  });

I got it to work by adding to my command:

npx nightwatch  --disable-output
