# google-readability-avoid-underscore-in-googletest-name

Checks whether there are underscores in googletest test suite names and test names in test macros:

- `TEST`

- `TEST_F`

- `TEST_P`

- `TYPED_TEST`

- `TYPED_TEST_P`

The `FRIEND_TEST` macro is not included.

For example:

    TEST(TestSuiteName, Illegal_TestName) {}
    TEST(Illegal_TestSuiteName, TestName) {}

would trigger the check. Underscores are not allowed in test suite name nor test names.

The `DISABLED_` prefix, which may be used to disable test suites and individual tests, is removed from the test suite name and test name before checking for underscores.

This check does not propose any fixes.
