Getting "Error: Invalid container name format", when trying to run a container #391

I am using udocker in Ubuntu 22.04 running inside Parallels. I am trying to use the docker container available at eltedh/nosketch-engine:latest. udocker ps gives me a list of containers for example

CONTAINER ID                         P M NAMES              IMAGE               
90b706f2-26e4-390b-95c7-2a1b031e703e . W ['noske']          eltedh/nosketch-engine:latest

but a simple udocker run --rm --name=['noske'] eltedh/nosketch-engine:latest, gives Error: invalid container name format. I get the same error even when giving --name='noske' or --name=noske. I named the container after pulling it, by giving udocker name CONTAINER_ID noske

From a simple search at the repository, it seems that the error is printed from cli.py, when the script cannot set the name to a specific container.

Any ideas on what is wrong, perhaps even in my execution flow?

Silly error, I was giving --name=['noske'] instead of --name==noske. I was basically missing double =.... Please close the issue
