test-only not working from terminal, but working from inside sbt console

[Matthias Schlaipfer]

I am trying to run only a certain test case using

    sbt test-only <name>

with the result of all available tests running.

However, when I'm in the sbt console

    > test-only <name>

seems to work fine. Is that a bug in sbt or expected behaviour? I am using version 0.12.3.

You want

  sbt "test-only <name>", i.e. pass the command test-only and its arguments as a single shell-argument to the sbt script.
