PS F:\bender\codecept4>

Please repair, if user in init form select option for typescript, it is neccesary change this code in codecept.conf.ts:

include: {
I: './steps_file'
},

to (missing ".ts"):
include: {
I: './steps_file.ts'
},

My workaround: run tsx node_modules/codeceptjs/bin/codecept.js instead of the codeceptjs command
