# testNamePattern <CRoot /> {#testnamepattern}

- **Type:** `string | RegExp`
- **CLI:** `-t <pattern>`, `--testNamePattern=<pattern>`, `--test-name-pattern=<pattern>`

Run tests with full names matching the pattern.
If you add `OnlyRunThis` to this property, tests not containing the word `OnlyRunThis` in the test name will be skipped.

```js
import { expect, test } from 'vitest'

// run
test('OnlyRunThis', () => {
  expect(true).toBe(true)
})

// skipped
test('doNotRun', () => {
  expect(true).toBe(true)
})
```
