Ambiguous Step

ambiguous-step

One concrete step from the discovered feature corpus matches multiple authoritative definitions. This rule does not speculate about steps absent from the corpus; overlapping-matcher handles that case. Narrow one matcher or remove the duplicate.

The selected definitions form one comparison corpus; CukeDedup does not infer which definitions a runner loads for each feature. Before changing matchers in a monorepo or a suite with feature-local Cypress steps, check that the reported definitions actually coexist at runtime. Scope both definitions and features to that registry as described in Corpus boundaries. Filtering only features still compares each selected step against every selected definition.

Language support

JavaScript/TypeScript	Cucumber-Ruby
Supported.	Supported for Cucumber Expressions and the translated Ruby regex subset. Other regexes are indeterminate: the run is incomplete and they produce no overlap or unused findings.

Cucumber-Ruby support is experimental; see Cucumber-Ruby.
