# CukeLinter
So you have started to use Cucumber to describe your system in the abstract, natural language style of Gherkin. But wait! All of your feature files are themselves code and that means that they may need the same protection from anti-patterns as the lower level source code of your system. Enter `cuke_linter`.
This gem provides linting functionality for `.feature` files by building upon the modeling capabilities of the [cuke_modeler](https://github.com/enkessler/cuke_modeler) gem. By passing models through a set of linters, reports can be generated that will inform you of potential bugs, style violations, or anything else that you can define as a problem via custom linters!
## Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
```ruby
gem 'cuke_linter'
```And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install cuke_linter
## Usage
#### From the command line
The easiest way to use the gem is to use all of the defaults by invoking it from the command line directly.
```
$ cuke_linter
```Additional command line options can be provided that can adjust the default behavior. See [documentation](#documentation) for specifics.
#### From a Ruby script
The linter can also be used inside of a Ruby script, like so:
```
require 'cuke_linter'CukeLinter.lint
```The linting will happen against a tree of `CukeModeler` models that is generated based on the current directory. You can generate your own model trees and use them instead, if desired, or even provide specific file paths that will be modeled and linted.
`cuke_linter` comes with a set of pre-made linters and will use them by default but custom linters can be used instead. Custom linters can be any object that responds to `#lint` and returns a detected issue (or `nil`) in the format of
```
{ problem: 'some linting issue',
location: 'path/to/file:line_number' }
```Note that a linter will receive, in turn, *every model* in a model tree in order for it to have the chance to detect problems with it. Checking the model's class before attempting to lint it is recommended.
**In order to simplify the process of creating custom linters a base class is provided (see [documentation](#documentation)).**
`cuke_linter` comes with a set of pre-made formatters and will use them by default but custom formatters can be used instead. Custom formatters can be any object that responds to `#format` and takes input data in the following format:
```
[
{ linter: 'some linter name',
problem: 'some linting issue',
location: 'path/to/file:line_number' },
{ linter: 'some linter name',
problem: 'some linting issue',
location: 'path/to/file:line_number' },
# etc.
]
```All formatted data will be output to STDOUT unless a file location is provided as an alternative.
Below is an example of using non-default linting options.
```
require 'cuke_linter'class MyCustomLinter
def name
'MyCustomLinter'
enddef lint(model)
return nil unless model.is_a?(CukeModeler::Scenario)if model.name.empty?
{ problem: 'Scenario has no name',
location: "#{model.get_ancestor(:feature_file).path}:#{model.source_line}" }
else
nil
end
endend
class MyCustomFormatter
def format(linting_data)
formatted_data = ''linting_data.each do |lint_item|
formatted_data << "#{lint_item[:linter]}\n"
formatted_data << " #{lint_item[:problem]}\n"
formatted_data << " #{lint_item[:location]}\n"
endformatted_data
endend
linter = MyCustomLinter.new
formatter = MyCustomFormatter.new
output_path = "#{__dir__}/my_report.txt"
model_tree_root = CukeModeler::Directory.new(Dir.pwd)
additional_file_path = 'path/to/some.feature'# Providing the formatter twice so that output also is printed to the console
CukeLinter.lint(linters: [linter],
formatters: [[formatter], [formatter, output_path]],
model_trees: [model_tree_root],
file_paths: [additional_file_path])
```### Configuration
Rather than using the default linters or providing a custom set of of modified linters every time linting occurs, which linters to use and any linter specific modifications (such as choosing a non-default dialect) can be configured in a more static manner via a configuration file or setting the configuration directly in code. See [documentation](#documentation) for specifics.
