Can a scenario be tagged @ui and @api at once? Lint says "found @hybrid @ui @api"

Example threads. These questions and answers were written by the SDODS team to document real problems and how to fix them. The people named are illustrative, not real users. Questions asked on this site are marked new.

The scenario seeds a record over the API and then checks it renders in the browser, so it genuinely is both. I tagged it as both and got:

text

✖ features/hybrid/seed-then-view.feature:6  tags/layer  Scenario must carry exactly one layer tag (@ui, @api, @hybrid); found @hybrid @ui @api.

Three? I only wrote two. The @hybrid is on the Feature: line, left over from before I split this file. So are feature-level tags counted as part of a scenario's tags, and if they are, how do I say "this one scenario is both layers"?

Accepted answer
Both halves of that have the same answer: feature-level tags are counted, and that is why you have two.
Lint reads the effective tag set — Feature tags, plus Rule tags if you use them, plus Scenario tags, plus any tags on an Examples: block, all merged. So your @hybrid on the Feature line and your @ui @api on the scenario add up to three layer tags on that scenario.
The thing you actually want is the one you already have on the Feature line. @hybrid is exactly "this scenario uses the API client and a browser context in the same test":

```
@hybrid
Feature: Seed then view

  @smoke
  Scenario: A post created over the API shows on the page
    Given I create a post with title "Ship it"
    When I am on the posts page
    Then I should see the text "Ship it"
```
Drop @ui @api from the scenario and the file lints.

One consequence of the merge that catches people later: it also applies to a Feature that is tagged with one layer and holds a stray scenario of another. If @ui is on the Feature line you cannot make one scenario in that file @api — you get found @ui @api on that scenario and nothing you write on the scenario removes the inherited tag. Move it to its own file under the module for that layer.

Wrap commands and output in triple backticks and they will render as a code block.
