Playwright - Cucumber - ReferenceError: exports is not defined in ES module scope-CodePudding

Hi people: Working on Playwright with Cucumber and Javascript I'm facing the next issue trying to run the framework.

ReferenceError: exports is not defined in ES module scope

This is my cucumber.mjs file:

const common = `
    features/**/*.feature
  --require setup/assertions.cjs
  --require setup/hooks.cjs
  --require step-definitions/**/*.steps.js
  --publish-quiet
  `;

module.exports = {
    default: `${common} features/!**/!*.feature`
};

The error message says that the expression "exports" causes this issue.

Please don't tell me that remove the "type": "module", from package.json.

By the way: I tried to run the framework with the next command:

npm run test -- --tags "@Begin"

@Begin is a tag included in the Cucumber file.

Please, if you can help me with this. Thanks in advance!!!

You're using CommonJS modules, so you should use the .cjs file extension, not the .mjs file extension.

.cjs: CommonJS, importing using require("adsf") and exporting using module.exports

.mjs: ES Modules, importing using import asdf from "asdf" and exporting using export default asdf
