nose-exclude 0.1.6

Exclude specific directories from nosetests runs.

Overview

nose-exclude is a Nose plugin that allows you to easily specify directories to be excluded from testing.

Exclude Directories

The --exclude-dir= option is made available after installation of the plugin. The option may be used multiple times to exclude multiple directories from testing. The directory paths provided may be absolute or relative.

Example:

$ nosetests --exclude-dir=test_dirs/build \
    --exclude-dir=test_dirs/test_not_me test_dirs
....
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 4 tests in 0.006s

OK

This example will exclude the directories test_dirs/build and test_dirs/test_not_me from nosetests’ test searching.

Using File-Based Exclusion List

The --exclude-dir-file= option can be used to pass in a predefined list of directories contained within a file. nose-exclude expects each directory to be excluded to be on its own line.

Example:

$ nosetests --exclude-dir-file=test_dirs/exclude_dirs.txt \
    test_dirs
....
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 4 tests in 0.006s

OK

where exclude_dirs.txt might look like:

test_dirs/build
test_dirs/test_not_me
