Hi there, I would like to change that Regex as follows:
“Check that the Method
starts withtest orends withTest”
How would the fitting Regex look like?
Where am i coming from?:
Rule java:S3578 checks the convention of starting a Test-Method with “test”
like in:
testMethodSomething()
The supplied original Regex ist as follows: ^test[A-Z][a-zA-Z0-9]*$
TIA very much!
Daniel
Hey @daniel
A tool like https://regex101.com/ will probably help you.
It’s probably not the most graceful RegEx – but simply splitting into two capturing groups and providing a logical OR will probably get you close.
(^test[A-Z][a-zA-Z0-9]*$)|(^[A-Z][a-zA-Z0-9]*Test$)
that was quiiiick! … the capturing groups might do the trick. i am currently in regex101 playing around.
have tried it with the following but was on the wrong path: [^test[A-Z][a-zA-Z0-9]*$|^[a-z][a-zA-Z0-9]*Test$]
in the second group the first letter needs to be lowercase 
… if you edit your answer i will mark it(as the answer), or i would insert the solution myself
//another edit: how did you create the shortlink to your regex101-example, i wanted to do the same but failed to create it
Regex that checks that a methodname starts with test or ends with Test:
(^test[A-Z][a-zA-Z0-9]*$)|(^[a-z][a-zA-Z0-9]*Test$)
(it is a slight variation on colins fine reply … a methodname ending with *Test should start lowercase)
Thank you for the quick help!
