"No tests match regular expression" when running tests with "Dart: Run Test At Cursor" command #1492

Description

@zenkimoto

When calling the Dart: Run Test At Cursor command and the selected test is inside of a group(), the test runner errors out with No tests match regular expression "^widget tests$"..

The following code reproduces the error. (Just add a group to the default generated test and add a group() and run the Dart: Run Test At Cursor command.)

// This is a basic Flutter widget test.
//
// To perform an interaction with a widget in your test, use the WidgetTester
// utility that Flutter provides. For example, you can send tap and scroll
// gestures. You can also use WidgetTester to find child widgets in the widget
// tree, read text, and verify that the values of widget properties are correct.

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter_test/flutter_test.dart';

import 'package:radial_menu/main.dart';

void main() {
  group("widget tests", () {
    testWidgets('Counter increments smoke test', (WidgetTester tester) async {
      // Build our app and trigger a frame.
      await tester.pumpWidget(MyApp());

      // Verify that our counter starts at 0.
      expect(find.text('0'), findsOneWidget);
      expect(find.text('1'), findsNothing);

      // Tap the '+' icon and trigger a frame.
      await tester.tap(find.byIcon(Icons.add));
      await tester.pump();

      // Verify that our counter has incremented.
      expect(find.text('0'), findsNothing);
      expect(find.text('1'), findsOneWidget);
    });
  });
}

In the debug console, you'll see:

No tests match regular expression "^widget tests$".
