Is there anyway to prevent shunit2_tests targets from being added by tailor. globally? I want to avoid adding each exclude to

[tailor].ignore_adding_targets

from https://www.pantsbuild.org/2.19/reference/goals/tailor:

Each specific

tailor

implementation may be disabled through language-specific options, e.g.

[python].tailor_pex_binary_targets

and

[shell-setup].tailor

.

reveals https://www.pantsbuild.org/2.19/reference/subsystems/shell-setup#tailor which will turn off tailor for the entire shell backend (so not quite what you want)

I want

shell_sources

,but I don't want

shunit2_tests

🙂

yeah it is inconsistent with how the Python backend defines them per group of targets: e.g. https://www.pantsbuild.org/2.19/reference/subsystems/python#tailor_requirements_targets

Do you wanna file a feature request and or a PR with an improvement to make the

tailor

option more fine-grained? Happy to help guide you how to do this!
