tag argument = expected string slice found string for tag

Does the tag argument work in config.yml https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/connections/connect-apps/configuration/arguments#--tag ?

I tried in config.yml

tag: cmm=test

and get

cloudflared tunnel --config ~/.cloudflared/config.yml run tun.domain.com
expected string slice found string for tag

cloudflared --version
cloudflared version 2021.2.1 (built 2021-02-04-1528 UTC)

Hi there, the tag doesn't do anything currently, it was originally added to Argo Tunnel in its early testing/development phase and we haven't wanted to remove it for backwards compatibility reasons.

thanks @adamchalmers for the clarification

I did find git repo tags are formatted differently in config.yml example at https://github.com/cloudflare/cloudflared/blob/master/cmd/cloudflared/config/configuration_test.go#L36-L38 compared to https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/connections/connect-apps/configuration/arguments#--tag

tunnel: config-file-test
ingress:
 - hostname: tunnel1.example.com
   path: /id
   service: https://localhost:8000
 - hostname: "*"
   service: https://localhost:8001
retries: 5
grace-period: 30s
percentage: 3.14
hostname: example.com
tag:
 - test
 - central-1
counters:

You mentioned "git repo tags", but the tags you linked don't refer to git tags at all. They're just custom tags you can give your tunnels to help organize them in a hypothetical UI. As I mentioned, we don't surface them, they're really a leftover legacy concept and we haven't removed them because we don't want to break backwards-compatibility. We should remove them from the docs though.
