What about this:
if the test name is not found but there are arguments to the program, 
then show the menu.   Once the menu selection is made, pass the arguments.

So you could do this:
testDriver test2_arg1 test2_arg2

Then select test1 in the menu.

On the other hand, you can use ctest to run the Dart named tests and not
have to worry about the menu stuff at all.


In my example, you could run each test like this:

ctest -R test1
ctest -R test2
ctest -R test3
