Steps to reproduce

1. add the 'tags' option to the Cucumber.Options annotation contained in the JUnit class
2. add a tag to a feature file (place the tag at the scenario level) -- the name of the tag should match the one added in Step 1.
3. run the test

I just ran into the same issue - I'll look into it

[aslakhellesoy]

The culprit is here. It's common for many command line tools to use @ to refer to contents in a file.

We have 3 options:

1. Patch JCommander and wait for a new release
2. Don't use JCommander at all

I'll have to think about this.

[aslakhellesoy]

I'll probably get rid of jcommander altogether and parse arguments "manually" again: https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber-jvm/blob/78cc1d9d1f84e89a289cd3f85203000df66099d7/core/src/main/java/cucumber/cli/Main.java

For what it's worth, it would have been trivial for me to make this '@' parameter configurable.

[aslakhellesoy]

@cbeust yeah I figured it would have been easy, but implementing our own parsing turned out to be just as simple :-)

[cbeust]

Fair enough :-)
