Gherkin Lint - New project?

[aslakhellesoy]

A recent discussion in the cucumber/gherkin gitter room revealed that there are (at least) 3 Cucumber linters out there:

• cuke_sniffer - Ruby
• gherkin-lint - JavaScript
• gherkin-lint - Ruby

The projects are similar, and I think there are some great unique things in each one of them.

What do you think about joining forces to create a single one to rule them all? Ideally in JavaScript since it's easier to use on the web, and also relatively easy to embed into other libraries as well as editors and IDEs.

If you're interested, just reply here and fill out this doodle for a google hangout kickoff meeting.

Thanks for doodling everyone. I've picked a time the upcoming Friday.

Proposed agenda

• Introduce ourselves quickly
• Agree on high level goals for the project
• Decide what to do next and who does what

We'll take lo-fi minutes in gitter and paste a summary in this ticket later.

Homework before hangout

Study the various implementations listed above and write down a list of things you'd
like to see in the official implementation. This will help us come up with better goals.

Thanks for participating everyone - I'm really excited about this!

Will be glad to join!

[enkessler]

Good to go!

There is also @charlierudolph's https://github.com/charlierudolph/cucumber_lint that we can use as inspiration

[aslakhellesoy]

Some of us ran a Google Hangout meeting on 12th Aug 2016. The minutes are here.

I just fixed the sharing access of that google doc. Anyone with the link can see it and comment on it.

@gmk1217 where did you find a broken link to https://github.com/cucumber/gherkin-lint ?

(The correct link is https://github.com/cucumber/gherkin-lint-javascript)

[gmk1217]

Here is another one: https://github.com/wesovilabs/gherkinize by @ivancorrales

I'll let everyone in this issue know when gherkin-lint is open for contribution - been busy doing other things (such as adding event protocol support to gherkin, which will simplify gherkin-lint architecture considerably)

@aslakhellesoy it's great that you are working on consolidation of linters. Thanks for all your work. Do you have any project updates?

[aslakhellesoy]

I haven't made any progress I'm afraid. Too many other responsibilities.

One more gherkin linter. This is one is also in Ruby but is actively maintained.

[DwordPtr]

As I created the issue above. I am interested. How much work/process would it take to bring the gherkin-lint npm package into the monorepo?

Doubtless there will be stuff we don't like but having a starting spot that already works.

Goes without saying I don't mind helping out where I can (and am qualified to)

[enkessler]

Setting aside the risk of my participation giving the project the touch of death, I remain more than happy to help in a limited capacity (I've never made an NPM package before).

[DwordPtr]

I made a super simple one to try it out. The tooling is pretty nice. The hardest part is knowing what the ast will look like in a dynamically typed language.
