How can I exclude several tags in cucumber without mentioning --tags ~@ for each tag

System: OS X 10.8.3, Cucumber: 1.2.1, Ruby: 1.8.7

Hi! I'm using calabash-cucumber and I need to exclude several tags from my test run?

Let's assume I have a feature with three tests tagged @iphone @ipad @ipod

If I run my tests with key --tags ~@ipad it works correct - two tests are ran: @iphone, @ipod

If I run my tests like this: --tags ~@ipad,~@iphone - all three are ran: @ipad, @iphone, @ipod

If I tun my tests like this: --tags ~@ipad,@ipod - two tests are ran: @iphone, @ipod

The only option that I've found is to add --tags ~@tag for each tag to run properly, but as for me it's not the best way :)

Is it a bug, or it's by design?

Cheers, 

Alex

Here is what "cucumber --help" says about --tags

        Only execute the features or scenarios with tags matching TAG_EXPRESSION.

        Scenarios inherit tags declared on the Feature level. The simplest

        TAG_EXPRESSION is simply a tag. Example: --tags @dev. When a tag in a tag

        expression starts with a ~, this represents boolean NOT. Example: --tags ~@dev.

        A tag expression can have several tags separated by a comma, which represents

        logical OR. Example: --tags @dev,@wip. The --tags option can be specified

        several times, and this represents logical AND. Example: --tags @foo,~@bar --tags @zap.

        This represents the boolean expression (@foo || !@bar) && @zap.

                                     

        Beware that if you want to use several negative tags to exclude several tags

        you have to use logical AND: --tags ~@fixme --tags ~@buggy.

I think last two lines answer your question ;)

Regards, Oleg.

There's a much simpler solution: think positive, say what you want vs. what you don't want. For instance, to exclude ipad and iphone tests specify --tags @ipod. It will run only the ipod tests.

Hope this helps,
