Gherkin support

Gherkin features and guidance

Table of Contents

The Gherkin language is used to define test cases for the Cucumber testing tool for behavior-driven development. The Gherkin syntax is designed to be non-technical, making it human-readable for a wide audience.

Language Info for Gherkin

Since PMD 6.48.0
Implementation: GherkinLanguageModule
Id: gherkin
PMD: ❌
CPD: ✔️

Support in PMD

Starting from version 6.48.0, Gherkin support was added to CPD.

Limitations

Support for Gherkin only extends to CPD to detect code duplication in Cucumber test cases.
While Gherkin keywords have been translated into various languages, CPD currently supports only the English version of the Gherkin language.
