The REGISTER_TEST and Dart are separate issues.

So if you had a function called test1, you would do this:
REGISTER_TEST(test1)

Then in the CMakeLists.txt file, you would connect to dart like this:

# create Dart test1, runs testDriver with the first arg as test1 and two args
ADD_TEST(test1 testDriver test1 test1_arg1 test1_arg2)
# create Dart test1, runs testDriver with the first arg as test2 and two args
ADD_TEST(test2 testDriver test1 test2_arg1 test2_arg2)
# create Dart test1, runs testDriver with the first arg as test3 and two args
ADD_TEST(test3 testDriver test1 test3_arg1  test3_arg3)

So, there are three tests with different dart test names that run the same 
function but pass
different arguments into each one.

This is true.   If you want to pass arguments to a test, you have to pass 
no arguments.
I guess we could change the logic, so that if the first argument is not the 
name of a test,
all arguments are passed on to the menu selection.
