no-multiple-empty-lines
Limits how many blank lines may sit next to each other.
What it does#
One blank line separates things. Several in a row just add scrolling. If your team likes a wider gap between scenarios, raise the limit rather than switching the rule off. Blank lines inside a doc string are left alone, because they are part of the text being quoted.
Turning it on#
Add this to your .gurkencheckrc:
{
"no-multiple-empty-lines": ["on", {"max": 2}]
}Settings#
| Setting | Value | If you leave it out | What it does |
