no-undeclared-variables

Every <placeholder> in a step needs a column to fill it in.

What it does

A placeholder with no matching column is never substituted. The step runs with the angle brackets still in the text, which almost never matches a step definition and is confusing when it does. Usually it is a typo or a column that was renamed.

Turning it on

Add this to your .gurkencheckrc:

{
  "no-undeclared-variables": "on"
}

Settings

This rule has no settings. Switch it on with "no-undeclared-variables": "on".
