I have been typing this without really knowing what it means:
sdods run -p demo-shop -e staging -l ui -b chromium -t @smokeThree filters. Do they narrow each other down, or is one of them authoritative? Specifically: I have a scenario tagged @api @smoke. Is it in that run or not?
Accepted answer
They narrow. -l and -b pick the run targets (layer × browser), and your tag expression is combined with the layer, so what actually executes is
(@ui) and (@smoke)Your @api @smoke scenario is not in that run — it has no @ui. Run it with -l api, or drop -l and let both layers in.
-l and -b are repeatable rather than last-wins, so -l ui -l api means both.
Add --list whenever you are unsure. It prints the run targets and the tests they contain and exits, which is a lot cheaper than discovering after eight minutes that you selected nothing.
There is a fourth filter you will want eventually: -m <module>, which restricts the run to one module's features.
