Scenario name can not be passed to -tc to execute single scenario

[thekiwicoder0]

Description

Given the way the SCENARIO test macro works, it's not possible to use just the scenario name
as the command line argument with -tc= option to execute it.

Steps to reproduce

Given this test case:

SCENARIO("MyTestCase")
...

Attempt to execture a single scenario using the command line filter:
-tc=MyTestCase

Result:
0 tests pass

Extra information

It seems the SCENARIO macro prefixes the test case with ' Scenario: ' (including whitespace).
So the filter requried to execute is:
-tc=*Scenario:*MyTestCase

Perhaps a new command argument could be used?

I would lean towards people hacking their way around such issues because there's a fine balance between features and bloat. You could use ? (means match 1 char) instead of * for the whitespace btw - like this: *Scenario:?MyTestCase.

[thekiwicoder0]

Sure, *Scenario:*MyTestCase gives the same result too, with just as many characters. My point was it’s a bit unintuitive that’s all.
The ‘Scenario:’ bit is kinda hidden without digging into the macro

[thekiwicoder0]

I’m wondering why scenario test cases are prefixed with Scenario: at all, without this, they would work just fine with the standard filter.

I think it was done the same way in Catch when I made it initially. Perhaps I should add a note about that in the docs - will keep this issue open for that.

Thanks, adding to the docs a note about this would be good too.
