Allure Cucumbers.js Integration: Error with allure.step or attachment - 'test.info() can only be called while test is running

[sujith0980]

I have created a project with CucumberJs and Allure. So importing allure from allure-js-commons and writing steps throwing an error.
Error: test.info() can only be called while test is running

import { Given, Then, When, setDefaultTimeout } from "@cucumber/cucumber";
import { loginPage } from "../../Object-Repository/login.mjs";
import { attachment } from "allure-js-commons";

Given("I am on the login page", async function () {
await attachment(
"Sample text attachment for step",
"Goodbye world!",
"text/plain"
);
await await global.page.goto(
"https://youtube.com"
);
await global.page.fill(loginPage.usernameField, "admin");
await global.page.click(loginPage.submitButton);
await global.page.fill(loginPage.credentialsField, "Admin");
await global.page.click(loginPage.loginButton);
console.log("Logged into Application");
});

Could anyone help me out with this issue?

Please provide more details on your setup. It looks like you're using CucumberJS runner with Playwright as a library. But according to the error, you're trying to use the allure-playwright dependency, which requires a Playwright runner.

Its my cucumber.json

{
"default": {
"paths": [
"tests/features/*.feature"

    ],
    "require": [
        "tests/steps/*.js",
        "tests/hooks/hooks.js"
    ],

    "formatOptions": {
        "snippetInterface": "async-await",
        "resultsDir": "allure-results"
    },
    "format": [
        ["allure-cucumberjs/reporter"]
    ],

}

As you provided in the allure cucumberjs official document. I have tried allure.step but got the same error.

its my package.json

"devDependencies": {
"@cucumber/cucumber": "^10.9.0",
"@cucumber/messages": "^27.0.2",
"@cucumber/pretty-formatter": "^1.0.1",
"@playwright/test": "^1.49.0",
"allure-commandline": "^2.32.0",
"allure-cucumberjs": "^3.0.7",
},

"dependencies": {
"allure-js-commons": "^3.0.7",
"allure-playwright": "^3.0.6",
}

And nothing else. Just before and after hooks to open and close the browser. And these BeforeAll, Before, After and AfterAll hooks not being considered by allure. In the allure report I can only see the test body. Setup and Teardown sections are empty.

You need to remove allure-playwright dependency. It makes Allure think you're using Playwright Runner

[sujith0980]

I have removed allure-playwright from the package.json

"devDependencies": {
        "@babel/core": "^7.26.0",
        "@babel/preset-env": "^7.26.0",
        "@babel/register": "^7.25.9",
        "@cucumber/cucumber": "^10.9.0",
        "@cucumber/messages": "^27.0.2",
        "@cucumber/pretty-formatter": "^1.0.1",
        "@playwright/test": "^1.49.0",
        "@types/node": "^22.9.1",
        "allure-commandline": "^2.32.0",
        "allure-cucumberjs": "^3.0.7",

    },
    "allure": {
        "outputDir": "./allure-results",
    },
    "dependencies": {
        "allure-js-commons": "^3.0.7"
    }

this is sample hooks im using

    import * as allure from "allure-js-commons";

//before all feature files
BeforeAll(async function () {
  console.log("Running");
  await allure.description("It has something to do");
  browser = await chromium.launch({
    headless: false,
    slowMo: 20,
    timeout: 80 * 1000,
    args: ["--start-maximized"],
  });
});

This is the error im getting if I just remove allure-playwright from the package.json

Error: a BeforeAll hook errored, process exiting: tests\hooks\hooks.js:14
at Runtime.runTestRunHooks (D:\Sample\node_modules@cucumber\cucumber\src\runtime\run_test_run_hooks.ts:37:19)

at D:\Sample\node_modules\allure-js-commons\src\facade.ts:26:31

And I tried uninstalling allure-playwright and deleted allure-playwright from node_modules and this is the error I got

Error: a BeforeAll hook errored, process exiting: tests\hooks\hooks.js:14
at Runtime.runTestRunHooks (D:\Sample\node_modules@cucumber\cucumber\src\runtime\run_test_run_hooks.ts:37:19)

You will have such an effect if you don't import allure-cucumberjs in cucumber world; see https://github.com/allure-examples/cucumberjs-npm-esm-ts/blob/main/features/support/world.ts

[sujith0980]

Oh great..!! It worked when I placed the world.js in my tests/steps folder.

1. The thing is I have created hooks BeforeAll, Before, After and AfterAll and I ma expecting that allure takes these as Setup and Teardown but in allure report I see Setup and teardown sections are empty. Any help regarding this?
2. Why cannot I use Formatter as summary or progress-bar and allure-cucumberjs/reporter together?
