GPLint (Gherkin/Pickle Linter)

Uses Gherkin to parse feature files and runs linting against the default rules, and the optional rules you specified in your .gplintrc file.

Forked from gherkin-lint

Documentation

Access to the documentation site to know how to use GPLint: https://gplint.github.io/

Quickstart

We encourage to check the site for complete documentation, but as quick start you can follow this:

Installation

Install as development dependency:

npm install --save-dev gplint

Create basic configuration

Set some basic rules to validate your gherkin files, to do that, create a file called .gplintrc with the following content:

.gplintrc

{
  "allow-all-caps": [
    "error",
    {
      "Global": false,
      "Description": false,
      "ExampleHeader": true,
      "ExampleBody": true
    }
  ],
  "allow-all-lowercase": [
    "error",
    {
      "Global": false,
      "Description": false,
      "Step": true,
      "ExampleHeader": true,
      "ExampleBody": true
    }
  ],
  "file-name": [
    "warn",
    {
      "style": "camelCase",
      "allowAcronyms": true
    }
  ],
  "keywords-in-logical-order": [
    "error",
    {
      "detectMissingKeywords": true
    }
  ],
  "no-superfluous-tags": "warn",
  "no-unnamed-features": "error",
  "no-unnamed-scenarios": "error",
  "no-unused-variables": "warn"
}

Run it, checking the Gherkin files you have on test/features folder.
