cypress open "not" tagging terminating feature file at "not" tagged scenario

[sKavanaghV]

Thank you for this great pre-processor. Had been running a much older version and now experimenting with the latest. Its not clear to me if this is Cypress issue, user issue or a pre-processor issue.

Current behavior

In a feature file, If a scenario is tagged with a tag that is part of a "not" via TAGS directive, any scenario after that one will not execute, and it appears that the affected scenario hangs.

Desired behavior

A scenario tagged with a "not ... " should be skipped and the feature file should continue to execute.

Test code to reproduce

For a cypress launch such as cypress open --env TAGS='not @demo'

And feature file...

@smoke
Feature: Not tags skipping stall

  Scenario: I will not be excluded
    Given the test delays for "1" seconds for I will not be excluded

  @staging
  Scenario: I also will not be excluded
    Given the test delays for "1" seconds for I will also not be excluded

  @demo
  Scenario: I should be excluded
    Given the test delays for "1" seconds for I should be excluded

  Scenario: I am last and should not be excluded
    Given the test delays for "1" seconds for I am last and should not be excluded

Cypress runner stops the feature file at the scenario that should be excluded; "I am last and should not be excluded" is never executed.

If I run it like cypress run --headless --browser chrome --spec \"cypress/integration/impact_embedded/clinician_features/enrollment/aTest.feature\" --env TAGS='not @demo'

It behaves the same, and appears to hang...

  Not tags skipping stall
    ✓ I will not be excluded (1326ms)
    ✓ I also will not be excluded (1036ms)
    - I should be excluded

Lastly, if I try
./node_modules/.bin/cypress-tags run --browser chrome -g \"cypress/integration/impact_embedded/clinician_features/enrollment/aTest.feature\" --env TAGS='not @demo'

It behaves the same, and appears to hang...

Due to personal reasons, the previous maintainers of this package are stepping down and handing the reigns over to me, a long-time contributor to the project and a user of it myself. This is a responsibility I'm very excited about. Furthermore, I'd like to thank @lgandecki ++ for all the work that they've done so far.
