library2.0.0jsnpmunverified

ESLint plugin providing rules for Cucumber step definitions and hooks. The latest stable version is 2.0.0, which updates no-arrow-functions for ESLint 7 compatibility. Released as a major version bump for safety, though the change is backward compatible. Earlier versions (1.x) added features like async-then, expression-type, no-restricted-tags, and no-arrow-functions rules. It supports Cucumber v2+ syntax and is designed to enforce best practices in Cucumber test files. Minimal dependencies, lightweight, and focused on linting step definitions.

Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

cucumber

✓ Add 'cucumber' to plugins in .eslintrc

✗ require('eslint-plugin-cucumber')

ESLint plugin is loaded via plugins array, not via import/require in code.

async-then

✓ "cucumber/async-then": 2

✗ "cucumber/async-then": "error"

Rule severity can be numeric (0,1,2) or string ('off','warn','error').

expression-type

✓ "cucumber/expression-type": [2, "CucumberExpression"]

✗ "cucumber/expression-type": 2

Rule accepts options as an array after severity.

Configures ESLint to lint Cucumber step definitions with four rules: async-then, expression-type, no-restricted-tags, and no-arrow-functions.

// .eslintrc.json { "plugins": ["cucumber"], "rules": { "cucumber/async-then": 2, "cucumber/expression-type": [2, "CucumberExpression"], "cucumber/no-restricted-tags": [2, "wip", "broken"], "cucumber/no-arrow-functions": 2 } }

fix

Install plugin globally if ESLint is global: npm install -g eslint-plugin-cucumber

Errors

Common errors & fixes

ESLint couldn't find the plugin "eslint-plugin-cucumber".

Plugin not installed or not in node_modules.

fix

Run npm install eslint-plugin-cucumber --save-dev

Incorrect rule configuration format.

fix

Use numeric severity or string: "cucumber/async-then": 2 or "cucumber/async-then": "error"

Parsing error: The keyword 'Given' is not defined.

ESLint is parsing step definitions as regular code without Cucumber globals.

fix

Add an environment or use a global define for step keywords.
