Describe the bug

I encountered #636 and #759, and I found below.

template-ts version	gauge-vscode can start
0.9.0(latest)	🙅
0.8.0	🙅
0.7.0	🙆 OK!

I get diff between two templates, 0.8.0 and 0.7.0.

Common subdirectories: template-ts-0.0.7/.github and template-ts-0.0.8/.github
Common subdirectories: template-ts-0.0.7/env and template-ts-0.0.8/env
diff --color template-ts-0.0.7/metadata.json template-ts-0.0.8/metadata.json
4c4
<   "version": "0.0.7",
---
>   "version": "0.0.8",
diff --color template-ts-0.0.7/package.json template-ts-0.0.8/package.json
6c6
<     "ts-node": "^8.7.0",
---
>     "ts-node": "^10.4.0",
Common subdirectories: template-ts-0.0.7/specs and template-ts-0.0.8/specs
Common subdirectories: template-ts-0.0.7/tests and template-ts-0.0.8/tests

Therefore, as for title, I can say that version of ts-node causes error.
As a side note, version of gauge-ts and typescript has no effect on this error.

What command(s) did you run when you found the bug?

Open gauge-ts project in VSCode.

Hi, thanks for doing that deep-dive dissection of this problem!! I was having the same issues as the ones you mentioned and had previously posted my findings there too.

I can indeed confirm that in the Gauge project that I'm working on, the VSCode extension starts working properly again after I downgrade ts-node to version 8.7.0.

Hopefully fixed by getgauge/gauge#2422 in Gauge 1.5.6 - we can re-open if it turns out not to be the case.

I updated and checked and it was OK!
Thank you for your support!

All credit and thanks goes to @bockstaller on this one; I'm just clicking some buttons to get the automation through :-)

Sorry for the delay, but I read the investigation report(getgauge/gauge#2419). I was impressed by your handiwork!
Since I upgraded the version, my Gauge project has continued to work well.
Thank you so much for your help!
