I guess lots of people have asked that before so sorry if that is the case 😞 Is there any way to exclude a test when running

pants test ::

?

prefix it with

-

on the cmd line. So

pants test :: -path/to/excluded_test.py

If you want to skip it permanently (e.g. that file is broken or something), there's also https://www.pantsbuild.org/docs/reference-python_test#codeskip_testscode e.g.

python_test(..., skip_tests=True)

or

python_tests(..., overrides={"test_foo.py": dict(skip_tests=True)})
