Unable to override cucumber tags from the maven command line

[KSingla15]

Hi @prashant-ramcharan ,

I am having an issue while overriding the cucumber tags from the maven CLI, please find below the details:

The tag in the runner file is as follows:

tags = "@Login and not @excluded"

I am using below maven command to override the cucumber tags:

mvn clean compile -Dtest=TestRunner test -Dcucumber.tags="@NewLogin and not @excluded"

The entire tests are getting skipped and see the below in console: ─────────────────────────────────────────────────── Courgette Test Statistics
────────────────────────────────────────────────── Summary: 0% passed Duration: 0 min, 0 sec Run Level: Scenario Total: 0 Passed: 0 Failed: 0 ─────────────────────────────────────────────────── [INFO] [INFO] Results: [INFO] [INFO] Tests run: 0, Failures: 0, Errors: 0, Skipped: 0 [INFO]

Note: If I don't use double quotes and give single tag like below it's working fine.

mvn clean compile -Dtest=TestRunner test -Dcucumber.tags=@NewLogin

Hi @KSingla15

Are you using the maven-surefire-plugin to run your tests?

Please share your pom.xml and Courgette html report if you can.

As you are using the maven-surefire-plugin, have you tried

mvn test -DargLine="-Dcucumber.tags=@NewLogin and not @excluded"

Hi @prashant-ramcharan ,

This is working fine in macOS. But I am getting below error via a bat file in Windows:

Error: Could not find or load main class and caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

[prashant-ramcharan]

This is not related to Courgette.

This is likely related to your project configuration.
