Passing multiple parameters at once in cucumber
It’s also possible to pass multiple options at once. This is how it can be done
mvn verify -Dcucumber.options=” — tags @SomeThing” -Dcucumber.options=” — tags @SomeThing” -Dcucumber.options=” — tags @SomeThing”
OR
mvn verify -Dcucumber.options=” — tags @SomeThing,@Something,@Something” The comma represents a logical or, and specifying multiple — tags arguments.

How to create a folder on the cmd command line.
- Open a terminal and navigate to the folder which contains your Visual Studio projects.
- Run the following command:
touch .gitignore
. You do not see it, but a hidden .gitignore file was just created. - Run the following command:
vim .gitignore
. This opens the empty file with a text editor inside the terminal. - Paste the contents into the opened vim text editor. If you scroll at the bottom of the text editor you now see the — INSERT — a text which means that the content is ready to be saved.
- To save the file press ESC, type :wq and finally press ENTER. What you just saved is a complete .gitignore file with a blacklist
How to make the files visible after creating?
The hidden files and folders will remain in view until you press Cmd + Shift + . (dot) a second time.

entryabcd = (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = abcd.dk.xyz.com)(PORT = 1521)) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = abcd) ) ) abcd.world, abcd.dk.xyz.com = (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = abcd.dk.xyz.com)(PORT = 1521)) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = abcd) ) )
