Could not generate test report because of outline examples

I have following scenario outline with examples:

Scenario Outline: Example sale with adjustment
      Given fiscal device in normal state
      When open fiscal receipt with operator 1 and password "0000"
      And user try to sell <text> for $0.99 single price in Tax group "A" with quantity of 2 with adjustment <type> of <value>
      Examples:
        | text                 | type                      | value |
        | "discount by perc"   | "DISCOUNT_BY_PERCENTAGE"  | 10.0  |
        | "discount by value"  | "DISCOUNT_BY_SUM"         | 0.10  |
        | "surcharge by perc"  | "SURCHARGE_BY_PERCENTAGE" | 10.0  |
        | "surcharge by value" | "SURCHARGE_BY_SUM"        | 0.10  |

and defined test class as follow:

@RunWith(Cucumber.class)
@CucumberOptions(
        plugin = {"pretty", "html:target/cucumber-html-report"},
        features = "src/test/resources/"
)
public class SalesTest {

}

Then my build failed because of:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':devices:test'.
> Could not generate test report to 'D:\Intellij\DatecsFiscalFramework\devices\build\reports\tests'.

* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

BUILD FAILED

Total time: 17.053 secs
D:\Intellij\DatecsFiscalFramework\devices\build\reports\tests\packages\| "discount by perc" | "DISCOUNT_BY_PERCENTAGE" | 10.html (The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect)

I saw there was and --expand option but my project is configured with 1.2.4. How can make my build not failing and optionally to have successfully generated report.

dependencies {
    ...
    testCompile 'info.cukes:cucumber-java:1.2.4'
    testCompile 'info.cukes:cucumber-junit:1.2.4'
    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
}

I’m on windows. Thanks.
