Why run cucumber tests with tags gives error message

I have a Maven project with JUnit 4 and Cucumber tests.

I want to run one test with particular tag.

When I run command in Terminal

mvn test -Dcucumber.filter.tags="@Smoke"

or

mvn test -Dcucumber.options="--tags @Smoke"

I get errror message:

[ERROR] Unknown lifecycle phase ".options=--tags @Smoke". You must specify a valid lifecycle phase or a goal in the format : or :[:]:. Availa ble lifecycle phases are: validate, initialize, generate-sources, process-sources, generate-resources, process-resources, compile, process-classes, generate-test-sources, process-test-sources, generate-test-resources, process-test-r esources, test-compile, process-test-classes, test, prepare-package, package, pre-integration-test, integration-test, post-integration-test, verify, install, deploy, pre-clean, clean, post-clean, pre-site, site, post-site, site-depl oy. -> [Help 1]

Test Runner:

package step_definitions

import io.cucumber.junit.Cucumber
import io.cucumber.junit.CucumberOptions
import org.junit.runner.RunWith

@RunWith(Cucumber::class)
@CucumberOptions(
    features = ["src/test/kotlin/features/"],
    tags = "@Smoke",
    glue = ["step_definitions"],
    plugin = ["html:target/cucumber-report/cucumber.html"]
)
class TestRunner

My pom.xml:
