-k collects tests with * parameter

[Formartha]

Hi,

during a run of pytest, I discovered that pytest -k option will take all the testcases under a folder and will discover all the names identical to the following case:
TEST_NAME*

Example,

14:55:18 testsuite/ncso/tosca_adaptor/test_tosca_model_distribute.py::test_tosca_model_distribute PASSED [ 50%]
14:55:30 testsuite/ncso/tosca_adaptor/test_tosca_model_distribute_negative.py::test_tosca_model_distribute_negative PASSED [100%]

the command I used is : pipenv run py.test testsuite -k test_tosca_model_distribute

GitMate.io thinks possibly related issues are #1263 (mapping the fixture parameter with the test method parameter), #1843 (Parameter corruption for parameterized tests), #1123 (does pytest support to this way to collect test cases?), #765 (Re-allow simple class::test selection via "-k"), and #557 (Running a specific test parameter that has '-' causes syntax error).

keywords match even substrings of test names, its intended to work that way to select tests that contain a certain word at different locations

[Formartha]

So how can pytest grab specific test case? (exact matching)?

by using the full nodeid like filename.py::the_test
