Hello all - apologies for what feels like a question I should have been able to answer myself - I’d like to exclude paths from

./pants check ::

- specifically using mypy. It seems that Pants runs mypy per-file, which as far as I understand ignores any

exclude

arg passed to mypy. I don’t want to typecheck my tests - is that something I can do?

So this is my config inside a

pyproject.toml

[tool.mypy]
namespace_packages = true
strict = true

# Error output
show_column_numbers = true
show_error_context = true
show_error_codes = true
show_traceback = true
pretty = true
color_output = true
error_summary = true

ignore_missing_imports = true

[[tool.mypy.overrides]]
module = "tests.*"
ignore_errors = true

thanks - that’s better than my current state! hopefully there’s a smoother option, but I guess it’s motivation to go and fix up test annotation…

yeah I have realised that ignoring those errors wasn’t that great idea. Navigating around tests isn’t that easy especially now we have much. more tests etc. But I was the one who had to do this wholesale mypy integration and didn’t have enough time.

each linter defines a skip field

This is definitely better option. Mine is “legacy” before

___defaults___

Yeah, something like this in a top-level BUILD file:

__defaults__(python_tests=dict(skip_mypy=True))

awesome, that concept was immediately useful for disabling broken tests in another subtree too - thank you all!
