    Try using either '/test:' OR /tags:' instead of both:

– or –

TestComplete.exe project-suite-file /project:project-name /tags:"@tag1" /run

The tag is just going to reference and run anything with that tag: scenarios or features or examples. So there is no reason to explicitly state in the command what feature or scenario the tag is in - just the tag. Please reference my previous link, it covers all of this information - including combining tags and scripting examples.

    In your example, is it possible to say /tags:"@Auth and @LoginPartnerPortal" to specify this feature file and this scenario?

        Thank you for the information. I read through the page before but it was not clicking. The problem was I was not using tags properly in the feature file.
