Karate after Scenario not running

Question

I am using Karate for my automation and javascript code in my after scenario is not working. I have followed the docs(https://github.com/intuit/karate/blob/master/karate-demo/src/test/java/demo/hooks/hooks.feature) very closely.

Feature: sample karate test script    
If you are using Eclipse, install the free Cucumber-Eclipse plugin from
https://cucumber.io/cucumber-eclipse/
Then you will see syntax-coloring for this file. But best of all,
you will be able to right-click within this file and [Run As -> Cucumber Feature].
If you see warnings like "does not have a matching glue code",
go to the Eclipse preferences, find the 'Cucumber User Settings'
and enter the following Root Package Name: com.intuit.karate    
Refer to the Cucumber-Eclipse wiki for more:...

    
Background:
    * url 'https://api.todoist.com/rest/v1/'
    * def headerData = { 'Content-Type' : 'application/json', 'Authorization': 'Bearer 676f2blabla...'}
    * headers headerData
    * configure afterScenario =
    """
    () => {
    var info = karate.info;
    var runId = 27;
    console.log("function afterscenario running happily");
    }
     """
    
Scenario: get all projects of a user

Given path 'projects'
When method get
Then status 200
    And match response[0] contains { id: '#number'}

For some reason this afterScenario never executes. I never get the console log. I have Scenarios following this Background. I wonder if there was a problem with some versions of karate as i see some issues posted. Please point if I am missing something.
