Skip cucumber playwright test in the Hooks file using tag name

Question

I have scenarios in my cucumber feature file with a tag labeled as @skipTest, and I want to skip all the tests in this file using the before hooks. The reason I want to do this is that in the local environment, I want to skip all the tests but the test will run in the production environment. Below is my code snippet in the hook file

Before({ tags: '@skipTest' }, function (this: CustomWorld) {
 if (isLocalEnvironment()) {
 return this.skip();
 }
});

How can I skip the scenarios that use the tag?

Answer 1

I was able to resolve this by adding the script to my package.json file

 "cucumber-js --tags 'not @skipTest' --config=cucumber.js || true"

So when I run npm run test It runs all my tests except the one tag as skipTest
