  -m takes the module name, not the folder. They are usually the same because path defaults to the name, but they do not have to be:

  yamlCopy

  modules:
    - name: posts-api
      title: Posts API
      path: api
      layers: [api]

  So cart works because that module never set path, and api fails because it is a folder, not a module.

  bashCopy

  sdods run -p demo-shop -e staging -m posts-api

  The hint always lists the real names, which is the fastest way to check without opening the yaml.

  The names are also what the module carries elsewhere — its testing types, the tag every scenario in it should have, its owner and Jira component. Keeping name readable and letting path be whatever the folder is called historically is fine; we did the reverse for a while and ended up with a module called svc-2.
