PS: Is this a bug? Or I'm doing something wrong?

From the output there it looks like you might have the old “cucumber” module installed, maybe globally?

Can you try removing that?

I've personally never been able to get cucumber-js to invoke that way in Windows PowerShell. When I try I get a different error than OP - specifically the global installed warning even though that is entirely erroneous. Further the script works just fine if invoked through npm test
