Fix for "this" being undefined

[Wolftousen]

Fixing an issue where "this" could end up being undefined for some reason in WDIO.

Here is the error trace I am consistently receiving:

2022-06-15T03:58:16.658Z ERROR @wdio/local-runner: Failed launching test session: Error: Couldn't initialise "@wdio/cucumber-framework".

Here is the package.config for the project in question:

I'm running into the same problem using tsx as a loader and @graphql-codegen/cli - this patch fixes the problem
