Usage

Usage: reformat-gherkin [OPTIONS] [SRC]...

  Reformat the given Gherkin files and all files in the given directories
  recursively.

Options:
  --check                       Don't write the files back, just return the
                                status. Return code 0 means nothing would
                                change. Return code 1 means some files would
                                be reformatted. Return code 123 means there
                                was an internal error.
  -a, --alignment [left|right]  Specify the alignment of step keywords (Given,
                                When, Then,...). If specified, all statements
                                after step keywords are left-aligned, spaces
                                are inserted before/after the keywords to
                                right/left align them. By default, step
                                keywords are left-aligned, and there is a
                                single space between the step keyword and the
                                statement.
  --fast / --safe               If --fast given, skip the sanity checks of
                                file contents. [default: --safe]
  --config FILE                 Read configuration from FILE.
  --version                     Show the version and exit.
  --help                        Show this message and exit.

Config file

The tool is able to read project-specific default values for its command line options from a .reformat-gherkin.yaml file.

By default, reformat-gherkin looks for the config file starting from the common base directory of all files and directories passed on the command line. If it's not there, it looks in parent directories. It stops looking when it finds the file, or a .git directory, or a .hg directory, or the root of the file system, whichever comes first.

Example config file

check: False
alignment: left

Pre-commit hook

Once you have installed pre-commit, add this to the .pre-commit-config.yaml in your repository:

repos:
  - repo: https://github.com/ducminh-phan/reformat-gherkin
    rev: stable
    hooks:
      - id: reformat-gherkin

Then run pre-commit install and you're ready to go.
