Cucumber testing example is not running

Question

I have setup a working nightwatch environment and now want to use cucumber for testing. I have followed this guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jdlsv0CQ2CY&t=22s. No matter what I try I cannot get the test to work, I get this as output:

> cucumberpractice@1.0.0 test /Users/kieran/Documents/cucumberPractice
> cucumber-js --require cucumber.conf.js --require step-definitions --format node_modules/cucumber-pretty

Feature: Hacker News Search

  Scenario: Searching Hacker News
    Given I open Hacker News's home page
    ? undefined
    Then the title is "Hacker News"
    ? undefined
    And the Hacker News search form exists
    ? undefined

Warnings:

1) Scenario: Searching Hacker News # features/hackernews.feature:3
   ? Given I open Hacker News's home page
       Undefined. Implement with the following snippet:

         Given('I open Hacker News\'s home page', function () {
           // Write code here that turns the phrase above into concrete actions
           return 'pending';
         });

   ? Then the title is "Hacker News"
       Undefined. Implement with the following snippet:

         Then('the title is {string}', function (string) {
           // Write code here that turns the phrase above into concrete actions
           return 'pending';
         });

   ? And the Hacker News search form exists
       Undefined. Implement with the following snippet:

         Then('the Hacker News search form exists', function () {
           // Write code here that turns the phrase above into concrete actions
           return 'pending';
         });

you might giving the path wrong for step definition file in your package.json file,

"scripts": { "test": "cucumber-js --require cucumber.conf.js --require step-definitions --format node_modules/cucumber-pretty" },

for example my, here is my code in package,json,

"scripts": { "test": "cucumber-js --require cucumber.conf.js --require tests --format node_modules/cucumber-pretty" },

"--require tests": here "test" is the location folder where my feature file and my step definition files are exist.

Instead of Scenario: Searching Hacker News you have to put Scenario Outline: Searching Hacker News to add Examples
