I have simply create a testing, I created a test case named “TC Module [2]” and run editor throw “unexpected error: [ERROR] Suite ‘suite\_name’ contains no tests matching name,…”  
Then I removed brackets in test case name to “TC Module 2” and it’s worked.  
Can someone explain why I can’t named test case with brackets? Is there a rule to create test case name?

Hello,

Certain characters are used as simple or glob pattern when executing tests through robot command, such as square bracket. See here in _simple pattern_ section :

[https://robotframework.org/robotframework/latest/RobotFrameworkUserGuide.html#toc-entry-432](https://robotframework.org/robotframework/latest/RobotFrameworkUserGuide.html#toc-entry-432)

So it will search for pattern according to the info inside brackets, and will not find anything (searched for ‘TC Module 2’ I guess.

Also the note at the bottom here gives hints on the test cases naming :

[https://robotframework.org/robotframework/latest/RobotFrameworkUserGuide.html#toc-entry-267](https://robotframework.org/robotframework/latest/RobotFrameworkUserGuide.html#toc-entry-267)

Remember also that using OS reseverd characters/not usable for paths for example is not a good idea too.

Regards  
Charlie

What @CharlieScene said is correct, but in this case the error happened due to the way RIDE prepares an argument file with the tests selection. When we say to execute a specific test case (by checking its checkbox), the options `--suite` and `--test` are used. If we don’t select any test, it will run just with the test suite filename or directory.

See below a screen capture, where we can see that a test named `TC Module [2]` was successfully ran when using a wild card in the test specific name or using suites or directories:

By the way ;), @honggam124 , you know that Robot Framework accepts localized robot files? And that RIDE is on it’s way to have the interface also in supported languages?

Here is your example test suite:

```robot
Language: Vietnamese

***Các kịch bản kiểm thử***
TC Module [2]
    No Operation
