Tags are missing in serenity report 4.0.15

[aybartsch]

What happened?

I have migrated an old serenity project 2.5.8 to the latest release 4.0.15 plus moving test cases from jUnit 4 to 5. The tests are running but the tags defined by "WithTags/WithTag" are missing in the serenity report.

What did you expect to happen?

The tags defined by "WithTags/WithTag" annotations should be present in the serenity report.

Serenity BDD version

4.0.15

JDK version

11.0.21

Execution environment

OS: macOS Monterey 12.7
Browser: Chrome 118.0.5993.96

How to reproduce the bug.

1. Run the below test case

@ExtendWith(SerenityJUnit5Extension.class)
@WithTags({@WithTag(type = "Test", name = "SomeTest"), @WithTag(type = "Application", name = "SomeApplication")})
public class SmokeTest {

@Test
public void runSmokeTest() {
      // Some test here...
   }
}

2. Aggregate the report
3. Open the report and verify tags

Workaround: Using jUnit 5 annotations

@Tags({@Tag("Test:SomeTest"), @Tag("Application:SomeApplication")})

How can we make it happen?

Add it to the Serenity BDD backlog and wait for a volunteer to pick it up

Are you using the JUnit 5 tags?

[aybartsch]

I'm currently using the jUnit 5 tags as a workaround but would be prefer to use serenity tags instead.

[wakaleo]

The serenity tags are only for JUnit 4 - in JUnit 5 only native JUnit 5 tags are supported

[aybartsch]

Okay. Should the annotations not be excluded from serenity-model-4.0.15.jar or marked as deprecated?

[wakaleo]

No, because they are still relevant for JUnit 4 tests.
