Scenario Steps report wrong line/column for TypeScript include modules #5772

Description

Scenario Steps report wrong line/column for TypeScript include modules (after path fix)

Summary

After #5685 (current releases / latest on npm), Scenario Steps for TypeScript include modules show the correct .ts path, but line/column still come from the transpiled .temp.mjs, not the source file. Steps in test files report correct lines.

Related: #5675 (closed), #5685 (merged).

Expected vs actual

pages/fooPage.ts — I.doThing is on line 6:

Expected: ✔ I.doThing("...") at Object.open (./pages/fooPage.ts:6:5)
Actual:   ✔ I.doThing("...") at Object.open (./pages/fooPage.ts:4:11)

In the same scenario, the test-file step is the control (correct line):

✖ I.failNow("deliberate failure so Scenario Steps is printed") at Test.<anonymous> (./tests/fooTest.ts:5:5)

Repro (browser-free)

codecept.conf.js:

export const config = {
  tests: './tests/fooTest.ts',
  output: './output',
  helpers: {
    FakeHelper: { require: './fakeHelper.js' },
  },
  include: { fooPage: './pages/fooPage.ts' },
  require: ['tsx/cjs'],
  name: 'ts-step-paths-repro',
};

fakeHelper.js:

import Helper from 'codeceptjs/lib/helper';

export default class FakeHelper extends Helper {
  doThing(label) {
    return label;
  }

  failNow(message) {
    throw new Error(message);
  }
}

pages/fooPage.ts:

export {};
const { I } = inject();

export default {
  open() {
    I.doThing('called from a .ts page object under include');
  },
};

tests/fooTest.ts:

Feature('ts step paths');

Scenario('reports page object step path', ({ I, fooPage }) => {
  fooPage.open();
  I.failNow('deliberate failure so Scenario Steps is printed');
});
cd <repro-directory>
npm install codeceptjs@latest tsx typescript
npx codeceptjs run -c codecept.conf.js

Install codeceptjs, tsx, and typescript in one command. Check Scenario Steps for the I.doThing line.

Location Expected (source) Reported (latest)
I.doThing in pages/fooPage.ts ./pages/fooPage.ts:6:5 ./pages/fooPage.ts:4:11
I.failNow in tests/fooTest.ts ./tests/fooTest.ts:5:5 ./tests/fooTest.ts:5:5 ✓

Environment

  • CodeceptJS latest on npm (reproduced on 4.2.2)
  • Node 26.x, macOS
  • require: ['tsx/cjs']

Suggested fix

Remap line/column when rewriting .temp.mjs → .ts (source maps or equivalent), and add a sandbox runner test that asserts source line/col for an included page object step.
