How to run multiple scenarios other than using tags in Karate?

Question

I am trying to add a functionality in my stack where I would only run specific scenarios which path and line are stored in my database. These scenarios would be injected to the TestRunner file.

  @Test
  @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
  public void testParallel() {
    Assertions.assertThat(Runtime.version().feature())
        .as("Java version should be 11").isEqualTo(11);

    // Pretend this getting scenarios from DB
    List<String> paths = new ArrayList<>();
    paths.add("src/test/java/feature/test.feature:4");
    paths.add("src/test/java/feature/test.feature:12");

    Builder runnerBuilder = new Builder();
    runnerBuilder.path(paths);
    runnerBuilder.outputCucumberJson(true);
    runnerBuilder.outputJunitXml(true);
    runnerBuilder.hooks(getKarateHooks());
    Results results = runnerBuilder.parallel(1);

    ...
  }

When I run this, there's no scenarios executed at all. But when I feed the list with just one scenario path it can run that one scenario. Not sure what's wrong with it. The path method can accept either a string or a list. So I would assume this is how you run multiple scenarios with path. But I got no luck.

These are the path methods in Runner.class in karate-core:

    public T path(String... value) {
      this.path(Arrays.asList(value));
      return this;
    }

    public T path(List<String> value) {
      if (value != null) {
        if (this.paths == null) {
          this.paths = new ArrayList();
        }

        this.paths.addAll(value);
      }

      return this;
    }
