How to execute Multiple cucumber feature files using tags

Question

I am trying to run multiple feature file using tags, i have tried the command cucumber --tag @some_name --tag @some_name1. But it throws an error which reads as follows,

"WARNING: cannot load such file -- 2.0/gherkin_lexer_en Couldn't load 2.0/gherkin_lexer_en"

Can someone please tell me how to use tags to run multiple feature file.

As Eugene Snihovsky said above, to run multiple tags, one at a time (not in parallel).

"--tags=@create-case or @edit-case" worked for me.

I am using VS Code to test cucumber, the full object I used to test within launch.json was as follows:

{
            "name": "Cucumber @create-case",
            "type": "node",
            "console": "integratedTerminal",
            "request": "launch",
            "program": "${workspaceFolder}/tests/cucumberjs/node_modules/cucumber/bin/cucumber-js",
            "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}/tests/cucumberjs",
            "args": [
                "--tags=@create-case or @edit-case",
                "--format=node_modules/cucumber-pretty"
            ]
        }

As you can see, the args array stores the --tags arguments.

Worked for me

cucumber --tags @some_name --tags @some_name1 --tags @some_name3

If you want to automate your test with gulp-cucumber there is a section tags in the config object, which takes an array of string tags

Hey! So I have a two scenarios marked with @billing @important, and I want only these two scenarios to run and hence I used cucumber --tags @billing --tags @important . When I run it, it doesnt recognize those tags, but when I run just one tag, it runs it. Any idea why – Quincentenary

Answer 6

cucumber --tags "@tag01 or @tag02" that is in latest documentation and worked for me

Running Multiple feature file, you need to add tagName into your selected feature file as

A first step to cover your feature file with tagName for example:-

@SmokeTestCases
Feature: Logout module

The second step to go to runner file and add tags into your CucumberOptions Example:-

@CucumberOptions(plugin = { "pretty" },
    features = { "features" },
    glue = { "stepdefs" },
    tags = { "@SmokeTestCases" })

Only those feature files run which is covered with "@SmokeTestCases" tagName

This is for Java-Cucumber users :: Multiple Features are 1.Smoketest 2. Logintest Then your Junit runner java file should look like

@RunWith(Cucumber.class)    
@CucumberOptions 
(features = "src/test/java/testStep/",#Path for the Feature files Folder. Given you have smoke.feature and login.feature files present in the Path#
        plugin ={"pretty","html:reports/test-report"},#Path for the Reports Html Folder#
        tags= {"@smoke" ,"@login"})#Declaring multiple Feature names of files#
