Incorrect Test Case Matching with Double Quotes

[Anker101]

Describe the bug
When executing test cases with double quotes in the test case name using the Robot Framework, the test cases are not matched correctly, resulting in an error.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Create a test case with double quotes in the name, like:

Test Case Send GET on API "${endpoint}" on "${env}" for "${tenant}" should be 200

Execute the following command:

$ robot -t "Send GET on API "${endpoint}" on "${env}" for "${tenant}" should be 200" "Anker01_variables.robot"

The test case is not matched correctly, and the output is as follows:

[ ERROR ] Suite 'Anker01 variables' contains no tests matching name 'Send GET on API ${endpoint} on ${env} for ${tenant} should be 200'.

Expected behavior
The test case should be matched and executed successfully.

Additional context
The issue seems to be related to how the Robot Framework handles escaped double quotes in the command for specifying test cases with double quotes in their names. Manually including escaped double quotes in the command allows the test case to be matched correctly and executed.
$ robot -t "Send GET on API "${endpoint}" on "${env}" for "${tenant}" should be 200" "Anker01_variables.robot"

This correctly identifies the test case and executes it, as seen in the output:

Send GET on API "my endpoint" on "QAENV" for "Anker02" should be 200 | PASS |

This bug affects users who need to work with test case names containing double quotes in their projects.

Hello ,
The log says : [ ERROR ] Suite 'API' contains no tests matching name 'Send GET on API ${endpoint} on ${env} for ${tenant} should be 200'.
But in my scenario i specified that the name of the test case is :
Send GET on API "${endpoint}" on "${env}" for "${tenant}" should be 200
with quotation marks

OK found the issue, looks like I need to escape the double quotes as well

$ robot -t "Send GET on API "\${endpoint}" on "\${env}" for "\${tenant}" should be 200"  "Anker01_variables.robot"
[ ERROR ] Suite 'Anker01 variables' contains no tests matching name 'Send GET on API ${endpoint} on ${env} for ${tenant} should be 200'.

Try --help for usage information.

vs

$ robot -t "Send GET on API \"\${endpoint}\" on \"\${env}\" for \"\${tenant}\" should be 200"  "Anker01_variables.robot"

Confirmed the Double Quotes also need to be escaped on Window, but as I expected the ${ shouldn't be escaped on Windows
