no-unused-variables

Every column of an Examples table should be used by a step.

What it does#

A column nothing reads is dead weight, and usually the leftover of a rename that was only half finished. Switch on no-undeclared-variables as well to catch the other half: a <placeholder> with no column behind it.

Turning it on#

Add this to your .gurkencheckrc:

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

Settings#

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