Error filtering tags using cucumberOpts in command line

[davidrova]

Hi,

I'm using webdriverio v4.12.0, trying to filter tags using the command line.

There is a problem in the cli.js and in wdio.conf.js because the cli converts tags in an array of strings.

An array of strings cause an exception in runtime.
ERROR: expr.charAt is not a function firefox Type at tokenize (.....tag_expression_parser.js:87:20)

If you use a string instead an array it works.

Kind regards,

Hi Boris, ./node_modules/.bin/wdio --env dev --cucumberOpts.tags '@comments' ./e2e/wdio.conf.js My wdio.conf.js // // If you are using Cucumber you need to specify the location of your step definitions. cucumberOpts: { require: ['./e2e/lib/steps/initiatives.js'], // <string[]> (file/dir) require files before executing features backtrace: false, // <boolean> show full backtrace for errors compiler: [], // <string[]> ("extension:module") require files with the given EXTENSION after requiring MODULE (repeatable) dryRun: false, // <boolean> invoke formatters without executing steps failFast: false, // <boolean> abort the run on first failure format: ['pretty'], // <string[]> (type[:path]) specify the output format, optionally supply PATH to redirect formatter output (repeatable) colors: true, // <boolean> disable colors in formatter output snippets: true, // <boolean> hide step definition snippets for pending steps source: true, // <boolean> hide source uris profile: [], // <string[]> (name) specify the profile to use strict: false, // <boolean> fail if there are any undefined or pending steps tags: [], // <string[]> (expression) only execute the features or scenarios with tags matching the expression timeout: 20000, // <number> timeout for step definitions ignoreUndefinedDefinitions: false, // <boolean> Enable this config to treat undefined definitions as warnings. }, Kind regards,

I didn't go deep into this issue but understood what was happening and may suggest workaround
run
CUCUMBER_TAGS="@comments" ./node_modules/.bin/wdio --env dev ./e2e/wdio.conf.js

and replace in your wdio config
tags: [] to tags: process.env.CUCUMBER_TAGS || ""

[davidrova]

That sounds good. It is similar to my workaround. Thanks!

I think these cli args need to properly parsed into arrays. I think this is a bug.
