# `Gherkin.PickleStep`
[🔗](https://github.com/huddlz-hq/cucumber/blob/main/lib/gherkin/pickles.ex#L70)

One step of a `Gherkin.Pickle`.

Mirrors the Cucumber Messages `pickleStep`: `id`, substituted `text`,
resolved `type` (`:context`/`:action`/`:outcome`/`:unknown` — And/But
inherit the preceding step's type), and the `ast_node_ids` linking back
to the gherkinDocument (`[step_id]`, plus the examples-row id for
outline pickles).

`step` carries the underlying `Gherkin.Step` (with outline placeholders
substituted in text, docstring, and datatable) for the runtime, and
`from_background` marks steps inherited from the feature background —
the runner reports those separately.

# `t`

```elixir
@type t() :: %Gherkin.PickleStep{
  ast_node_ids: [String.t()],
  from_background: boolean(),
  id: String.t(),
  step: Gherkin.Step.t(),
  text: String.t(),
  type: :context | :action | :outcome | :unknown
}
```
