gherkin-checker

Consistency gherkins checker for nightwatch-cucumber projects.

Given a folder containing gherkin files (.features), a consistency test will check if all the steps used in the gherkins will match in your steps definition file.

How to use

Install the module in your source folder

npm install gherkin-checker --save

and add it to your scripts

"scripts": {
    "gherkin-checker": "gherkin-checker"
}

or install globally

npm install -g gherkin-checker

and in your source folder simply run

gherkin-checker

Configuration

In the folder where you'll run the module create a file named gherkin-checker.conf.js if you want to override the default configs.

//default configurations
 
module.exports = {
    features_path: "./features",
    steps_path: "./steps/common-steps",
    mode: 'full',
    components: {
        enabled: false,
        components_path: "./components/components",
        excludedComponents: []
    },
    reporter: {
        type: 'light'
    }
}

features_path (string)

The folder containing your gherkin files (.features).

steps_path (string)

The file containing your steps definitions.

mode (string)

Define the test running mode.

• full: a separate test will be performed for each .feature file in the features_path folder
• light: a global test will be performed for all .feature files in the features_path folder

components (object)

Additional components configurations.

If you use a module that exports a list of components used for mapping css-selectors with this structure:

// example: components.js
 
module.exports {
    _components: {
        'component1': 'body',
        'component2': '.container',
        'component3': '.container div',
        'component4': '.footer a.link'
    }
}

and in your gherkin you have something like this:

#gherkin that uses components
 
Scenario:
    Given I do something
    When I click "component1"
    Then "component2" is displayed

then you should set components.enable = true.

components.enable (bool)

Enable additional components support

components.components_path (string)

The file containing your components definition.

components.excludedComponents (array)

Array of components you want to skip in consistency check.

reporter (object)

Console reporter configurations.

reporter.type (string)

Define the console report style.

• full: both successful and failed assertions will be shown
• light: only failed assertions will be shown

credits: the reporter is a custom version of tap-diff

Parameters

you can specify the --path parameter to change the features_path option
