Minitest --name regexp troubles

ruby-talk
1

Hello,

I'm using Ruby 1.9.2p136 with Minitest 2.0.2 where the --name option
is accepting a partial test name regexp (/foo/) but not a complete
test name regexp (/foo bar baz/), as demonstrated below. Any ideas?

Thanks for your consideration.

You have to pass a valid Ruby method name: "/foo_bar_baz/" works.

You have to pass a regular expression that matches a test name you want to run. /foo.bar.baz/ will also work.
