I'm trying to figure out a way to use in the same way, or better said, similar way, the tagging options that cucumberJS has with protractor, but with Jasmine, is there a way to tag the different scenarios, like: @smoke, @regression, etc.. and then tell on console to run with those?

I'm declining to use Cucumber, since it's support it's seems to be getting flaky!

Any help will be much appreciated!

With jasmine2 you can filter tests using a regular expression. Maybe you can add something like @smoke, @regressions to your tests and then only run those ones by passing the grep flag:

it('should do stuff @smoke', function() {
  ...
});

Then run protractor passing the grep flag:

protractor conf.js --grep='@smoke'

Alternative to grep would to be to use suites:

suites: {
    smoke: [ 
        "spec1.js",
        "spec2.js",
        "spec3.js"
    ],

    regression: [
        "spec4.js",
        "spec5.js",
    ],
}

Then, run protractor specifying the suite argument:

protractor conf.js --suite smoke
protractor conf.js --suite regression
protractor conf.js --suite smoke,regression

Running protractor tests with multiple tags in using jasmine framework:

protractor.conf.js --grep '@smoke|@regression'
