Error Message: Webpack Compilation Error

Context:
I have installed cucumber package (npm install –save-dev cypress-cucumber-preprocessor)
I have updated my cypress/plugins/index.js file to configure Cypress to use the cypress-cucumber-preprocessor.

const cucumber = require('cypress-cucumber-preprocessor').default;

module.exports = (on, config) => {
  on('file:preprocessor', cucumber());
};

I have also modified my cypress.config.js file to specify the specPattern correctly for Cypress to find and run my .feature files.

{
  "baseUrl": "https://reqres.in/api",
  "e2e": {
    "specPattern": "**/*.feature"
  }
}

My code file directory cypressintegrationstep_definitionsusers_steps.js

import { Given, When, Then } from 'cypress-cucumber-preprocessor/steps';

Given('the API is available', () => {
  // Setup steps if needed
});

When('I request the first page of users', () => {
  cy.request('GET', '/users?page=1').as('getUsers');
});

  cy.request('GET', '/users/2').as('getUser');

When('I submit a request to create a new user', () => {
  cy.request('POST', '/users', {
    name: 'John Doe',
    job: 'Software Developer'
  }).as('createUser');
