Unable to run Serenity-cucumber tests with multiple tags!

[jurec72]

Hello, I am looking the way to run multiple tags in one command but all recommended solutions are not working or even can not find commands when try to run. I tried these commands - https://serenity-bdd.github.io/docs/guide/cucumber and none of them are working. Also, I thought maybe something wrong with my framework and I tried these commands on this framework https://github.com/serenity-bdd/serenity-cucumber-starter and it is also not working. Maybe there is any solution for this.?

Commands that are not working even for single tag: mvn clean verify -Dcucumber.filter.tags="@90498" mvn clean verify -Dcucumber.options="--tags @90498" With one tag only working command is: mvn clean verify -Dtags="@90940"

Thank you!

And below details of my framework:

Runner class:

`import io.cucumber.junit.CucumberOptions; import net.serenitybdd.cucumber.CucumberWithSerenity; import org.junit.runner.RunWith;

@RunWith(CucumberWithSerenity.class) @CucumberOptions( plugin = {"pretty", "rerun:target/serenity-reports/rerun.txt"}, features = "src/test/resources/features", glue = "steps", snippets = CucumberOptions.SnippetType.UNDERSCORE, stepNotifications = true, dryRun = false, tags = "@90498" ) public class Runner { }`

This examples should work:

• mvn verify -Dcucumber.filter.tags="@smoketest"
• mvn verify -Dcucumber.filter.tags="@smoketest and @billing"
• mvn verify -Dcucumber.filter.tags="@smoketest or @billing"

Thank you for answer, but I tried on serenity-cucumber-starter framework without any modification and it is not working, and on my framework as well not working. Please, see screenshot below! It always give an error - Unknown lifecycle.

[wakaleo]

That's a maven command syntax error, not a Serenity issue - there is something weird about the "-Dcucumber" bit. The command itself is correct, though. I can't reproduce it, on Windows or Mac.

[jurec72]

@wakaleo you as always right, that commands are working. Found the solution: If after '-D' you have multiple words, then use double quotes. It is working for me like this: mvn verify -D"cucumber.filter.tags"="@rrr or @bbb" Thank you!

[psrini7]

@jurec72 - How did you fix this issue . I’m facing similar problem. filter tag not working quotes as well . -Dtags works though like your case

[jurec72]

@psrini7 - If after '-D' you have multiple words, then use double quotes. It is working for me like this: mvn verify -D"cucumber.filter.tags"="@rrr or @bbb"

[psrini7]

@jurec72 Yeah I tried that too after seeing your earlier comment it didn’t work. Do you have both cucumber and serenity junit in dependency?

[jurec72]

Yes, please check the dependencies above. On my end it is working this way -D"cucumber.filter.tags", but it should be working without double quotes. And I have no idea why it is working that way. I suggest to update maven and if Windows add MAVEN_HOME environment variables and try both ways. -D"cucumber.filter.tags" -Dcucumber.filter.tags
