Cucumber: Multiple tags not running the scenarios

Question

Multiple tags in the cucumber doesnt run the scenarios.

I have two different tags, tagged to two different scenarios under the same feature file. I try to run both the scenarios that are tagged, using the cucumber tags command

cucumber --tags @billing --tags @important

When I run this, cucumber doesn't recognize the scenarios, it provides the output like

0 scenarios
0 steps
0m0.000s

But when I run the tags individually, like cucumber --t @billing the cucumber is able to recognize and runs the scenario. Any idea why?

Any help is appreciated.

Can you add your feature file also? Your tag filter will run scenarios which are tagged with both billing and important tags. Are both the scenarios having both the tags? — Grasshopper
@Grasshopper No! One scenario contains @billing tag and the other @important tag. I didnt realise this command has to have both the tags in the same scenario. Could you please let me know the command, for my case? What I if I have different tags in two scenarios each? for eg: scenario 1 tagged with @important scenario 2 tagged with @billing I want to run both scenario1 and scenario2 — Emjey
Great! Works! Thanks :) In case if Scenario 1 contains : @billing @important and Scenario 2 contains: @checkout @notimportant Will the above command work ? cucumber --tags @billing,@checkout,@notimportant,@important? — Emjey

Simply if you define like above ( cucumber --tags @billing --tags @important ) , there should be a scenario having both @billing and @important tags.

if you are looking for cucumber to pick up when matching any of the tags, use as below.

cucumber --tags @billing , @important
