I don't understand the syntax of the patterns used in IntelliJ IDEA's menu Run | View Breakpoints... | Catch class filter | Include | Add pattern... and probably many other places in the IDE.
Why does the pattern com.myname.*Tests not match com.myname.mypackage.Tests?
| Include pattern | Is com.mypackage.Tests included? |
|---|---|
| com.myname.mypackage.Tests | true |
| com.myname.* | true |
| *Tests | true |
| com.myname.*Tests | false |
Note that I also unsuccessfully tried:
- com.myname.**.Tests
- com.myname.*.Tests
- com.myname..*.Tests
- com.myname.**.*.Tests

Unfortunately this is not clear from the UI or documentation:
* in the middle is not supported. Regular expressions here are limited to exact matches and patterns that begin with * or end with *, for example, *.Foo or java.*.
