Karate has shadow classes for Cucumber core classes but is not ABI compatible (as opposed to API compatible) with them.

Please add the above method.

Note, you can find duplicate classes using mvn com.ning.maven.plugins:maven-duplicate-finder-plugin:1.0.4:check

As an aside, you can pretty much guarantee this kind of problem by shadowing classes.

@alexec unlikely - as we had multiple rounds of testing, so please follow this process:

Sorry Peter, I'm talking generally. I've seen so many hard to diagnose bugs with shadow classes, that I expect to find them when they are used. Like this ticket for example.

@alexec hear ya - there's a very good reason for these "shadow" classes that exist: #444 (comment)

also we did trim out annotation methods we did not need such as "snippets". FWIW we have had multiple rounds of beta releases to the community
