Authorize hyphen "-" for Tag

[usinelogicielle]

🤔 What's the problem you're trying to solve?

Actually in version 2.5 of the library, it is not possible for a tag to have a hyphen (example: “@EX-1234”). The regex does not allow it.

✨ What's your proposed solution?

Modify the RegEx to allow to use hyphen in a tag

⛏ Have you considered any alternatives or workarounds?

Not for this case.

📚 Any additional context?

Integration between Jira Xray and pipeline gitlab-ci running cucumber tests.
When I pull all features files from Jira, each test is represented by a Jira ticket number in the following format: “SPACE-1234”, In the feature file, each test has its Jira ticket number as its “Tag.”

@usinelogicielle Can you post a sample repo that illustrates this or just the error trace.

This would be something unique here but the wire protocol is using cucumber ruby which does permit this, so it might be something in the wire protocol that is breaking down cc/ @mattwynne @ursfassler

[ursfassler]

It looks like cucumber (7.1.0) is not sending the instruction to cucumber-cpp.
Is this something to be known working with cucumber over the wire protocol (e.g. with other implementations)?

To illustrate for this feature file below:

@all
Feature: Scenarios with tags

  Scenario: Tomatoes 
    Given An empty box
    When I place 5 x "Tomatoes" in it
    Then The box contains 5 items

  @skip  
  Scenario: This wont run 
    Given An empty box
    When I place 1 x "whatever" in it
    Then This would fail because there is no such step

  @apples
  Scenario: Apple
    Given An empty box
    When I place 2 x "apple" in it
    Then The box contains 2 items

  @apples @bananas
  Scenario: Apples and Bananas
    Given An empty box
    When I place 2 x "apple" in it
    And I place 2 x "banana" in it
    Then The box contains 4 items

  Scenario Outline: 
    Given An empty box
    When I place <count> x <fruit> in it
    Then The box contains <expected> items

    @oranges 
    Examples: 
      | count | fruit    | expected |
      | 1     | "orange" | 1        |

    @oranges @others
    Examples: 
      | count | fruit        | expected |
      | 3     | "oranges"    | 3        |
      | 1     | "some stuff" | 1        |

If i run all the tests i don't have any problem:

If i run with a tag without "-" like "@apples", i don't have any problem:

But when i want to use a tag like "app-les":

You can see the error at the beginning, which should not be present because the expected result should be that of an execution with an unrecognized tag, as shown below with the tag "@noexist".
