How does one pass string values enclosed with quotations "value"

For instance if I have the below command (does not work)

FILE=./path/subpath CASE="run this test" npm run test:one

The first FILE param is valid since it's not enclosed with string quotes, whereas for the second one, I need to wrap the run this test within strings since I'm targeting a specific scenario where I need to retrieve the name of a test. It fails.

If I were to change my name to runthistest and not use string quotations, the script will work.

FILE=./path/subpath CASE=runthistest npm run test:one

Of-course, I do not want this... I would like the first example to work. Any suggestion?
