Conversation
Allow users to filter tests by name using regular expressions, enabling patterns like `karva test -m auth` to run only tests containing "auth". Multiple `-m` flags use OR semantics, consistent with `-t` tag filtering. Non-matching tests are skipped rather than excluded. Closes #427
Project Diff ResultsNo changes between this PR and main. |
Add 11 new integration tests covering alternation, character classes, quantifiers, module-scoped filtering, tag+name filter combination, case sensitivity, inline flags, and additional invalid regex cases. Fix NameFilterError to not duplicate the regex error in the error chain.
