Rename this method name to match the regular expression '^[a-z][a-zA-Z0-9]*$'

Hi all,

I have the following reference message **(Rename this method name to match the regular expression ^[a-z][a-zA-Z0-9]*$')** in the SonarQube rules, I come to your help since I need to know how to do it from Sonar so that:

Allow test classes (src/test/java) to allow _ (Underscores) in method names, in order to better read test names.

please any suggestion.

Thank you

Hi,

Welcome to the community!

To write a regex that allows only test methods to have underscores in names, but not other methods, we’ll need a way to identify that we’re looking at a test method name. Specifically, do your test method names have “test” in them? Because from this rule/regex, we can’t look at annotations, or packages or anything else. Just the names.

As an example, if all the test method names start with test_ then the regex might look like

^(test_|[a-z])[a-zA-Z0-9]*$
That allows method names that start with test to have an underscore immediately after test, but nowhere else.

So, can you fully list your rules?
