Feature: Is it possible to have a configurable option to detect duplicate test scenario in the project?

The problem

During report generation, duplicate test scenarios in the project create problems as the unique id is being allocated with respect to the test scenario name.Is it possible to have a config option to not allow duplicate test scenario names.

Could you provide an example?

I've tried the following feature with duplicate "Check title" scenario:

Feature: Playwright Home Page

  Scenario: Check title
    Given I am on Playwright home page

  Scenario: Check title
    Given I am on Playwright home page

There is error in the output:

> npx bddgen && npx playwright test

Error: duplicate test title "Playwright Home Page › Check title", first declared in features/homepage.feature.spec.js:6

   at features/homepage.feature.spec.js:12

  10 |   });
  11 |
> 12 |   test('Check title', async ({ Given, page, When, Then }) => {

Thanks for the response.

Context for this case:

In our case,we are generating a junit report which will be exported to testrail after the run. The test-ids will be assigned uniquely depending on the test scenario name. If duplicates are present in the junit report, export will be failed.

Our Observation

When same test scenario is present in two different feature files, the duplication check is not working. There can be cases where this would be acceptable. But having a config option to determine if the duplication is allowed or not will be cool.

Thanks

I've made two features with the same scenario:
feature 1:

Feature: feature 1

  Scenario: Check title
    Given a step

feature 2:

Feature: feature 2

  Scenario: Check title
    Given a step

Running with junit reporter:

export default defineConfig({
  // ...
  reporter: [
    cucumberReporter('junit', {
      outputFile: 'cucumber-report/report.xml',
    }),
  ],

The report:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<testsuite failures="0" skipped="0" name="cucumber-js" time="1.96" tests="2">
  <testcase classname="feature 1" name="feature 1 › Check title" time="0.981">
    <system-out><![CDATA[Given a step..............................................................passed]]></system-out>
  </testcase>
  <testcase classname="feature 2" name="feature 2 › Check title" time="0.979">
    <system-out><![CDATA[Given a step..............................................................passed]]></system-out>
  </testcase>
</testsuite>

Each test case has name attribute, that is concatenation of feature name + scenario name, e.g. feature 1 › Check title.
Do you have duplicate feature names?
