Hi all! Is there a way to override the default

pytest

naming conventions? I’ve tried adding a

pytest.ini

overriding the global test file naming convention to

*_test.py

but pants is still picking up a file named

test_case.py

. I may be missing something obvious 🤔

Hi! Yes, you would explicitly set the

sources

field for the

python_tests

target in that directory to something like

["*_test.py"]

It sounds like

test_case.py

is a util file, not a test file? If so, then you want to include it in the

python_library

target for that directory, so update its

sources

field to be

["*.py", "!*_test.py"]

, meaning all Python files but the test files

python_library(sources=["*.py", "!*_test.py"])
python_tests(name="tests", sources=["*_test.py"])

test_case.py

is a util file, used in tests, yes! Ahh I see, got it – that makes sense! I’ll give that a try. Thanks!

Great! Let us know if you have any other questions or feedback 🙂
