Method name doesn't conform to snake_case naming style

I’m creating a simple project with my pylintrc file and get this error for the test method:

method name - test_calculator_add_method_returns_correct_result -  doesn't conform to snake_case naming style

class TddInPythonExample(unittest.TestCase):
    """ This is a basic test class"""

    def test_calculator_add_method_returns_correct_result(self):
        """ This test the calculator add method """
        calc = Calculator()
        result = calc.add(2,2)
        self.assertEqual(4, result)
