Usage ----- [](#usage) Define `cuke` as either `cuke-standalone` or `vendor/bin/cuke`. ``` cuke [--jcs ] [--html ] ``` where `--html` is to produce a set of reports in HTML and `--jcs` is to produce a checkstyle-format report for Jenkins/Hudson CI. Please note that: - by default, the report will be displayed on the standard output, - `--html` will be used if both `--jcs` and `--html` are given. For example, ``` cuke --jcs darkside.xml config.xml jedi/ ``` Available Analyzers ------------------- [](#available-analyzers) ### Semantic Analyzer [](#semantic-analyzer) #### Context Flow [](#context-flow) This analyzer first checks for the given-when-then context flow (precondition-action-assertion) in the following patterns: ``` Precondition -> Continuation (as precondition) -> Action -> Assertion Action -> Continuation (as action) -> Assertion Assertion -> Continuation (as assertion) -> Precondition -> Action ``` #### Semantic Quality [](#semantic-quality) It also asserts one of the conditions: - any contexts containing "click", "fill", "follow", or "select" is an action, - any contexts containing "should" or "must" is an assertion. When a context does not satisfy two or more conditions, the analyzer will consider it an exception (and emit no warnings). ### Coding Style Checker [](#coding-style-checker) This analyzer checks if: - **tab characters** are not used, - the width of indentation is consistent where the default width is **4 spaces**, - there exists no **trailing spaces**, - features have **no leading spaces** (no indentation), - backgrounds, scenarios, and scenario outlines have exactly **one** level of indentation, - preconditions, actions, assertions and continuations have exactly **two** levels of indentation, - tabular data has exactly **three** levels of indentation, - tag lines have at most **one** level of indentation, - extra spaces (two or more whitespaces) occur in non-tabular-data contexts. ### Instaclick's Coding Style Checker [](#instaclicks-coding-style-checker) This analyzer checks if any tags' name must: - start with **@**, - start and end with alphanumeric characters, - only use hyphens ("-"), - be in lowercase. Write a Custom Analyzer ----------------------- [](#write-a-custom-analyzer) All analyzers must implement `IC\Gherkinics\Analyzer\AnalyzerInterface`. ### Health Score 32 — LowBetter than 71% of packages Maintenance14 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity28 Limited adoption so far Community16 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity60 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 76.9% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio. Uses a 2-year decay window. **Popularity (30%)** — Total and monthly downloads, GitHub stars, and forks. Logarithmic scaling prevents top-heavy scores. **Community (15%)** — Contributors, dependents, forks, watchers, and maintainers. Measures real ecosystem engagement. **Maturity (30%)** — Project age, version count, PHP version support, and release stability. ### Release Activity Cadence Every ~102 days Total 3 Last Release 4544d ago ### Community Maintainers ![](https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/7527f543a29a1e6b1bcbe7525e619a3a02345b49abbc40f775f88a26aaf39a96?d=identicon)[instaclick](/maintainers/instaclick) --- Top Contributors [![shiroyuki](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/226612?v=4)](https://github.com/shiroyuki "shiroyuki (10 commits)")[![robocoder](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/922051?v=4)](https://github.com/robocoder "robocoder (2 commits)")[![kjhowe](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1379713?v=4)](https://github.com/kjhowe "kjhowe (1 commits)") --- Tags Behatgherkinsniffer ### Code Quality TestsPHPUnit Code StylePHP\_CodeSniffer ### Embed Badge ![Health badge](/badges/instaclick-gherkincs/health.svg) ``` [![Health](https://phpackages.com/badges/instaclick-gherkincs/health.svg)](https://phpackages.com/packages/instaclick-gherkincs) ``` ### Alternatives [behat/gherkin Gherkin DSL parser for PHP 1.1k176.3M90](/packages/behat-gherkin)[doctrine/coding-standard The Doctrine Coding Standard is a set of PHPCS rules applied to all Doctrine projects. 31914.1M736](/packages/doctrine-coding-standard)[robertfausk/behat-panther-extension Symfony Panther extension for Behat 341.7M87](/packages/robertfausk-behat-panther-extension) PHPackages © 2026 [Directory](/)[Categories](/categories)[Trending](/trending)[Changelog](/changelog)[Analyze](/analyze)
