Is there a way we can skip the install of

pytest-cov

when running the

test

goal? Not really sure why the requirement is being installed by default.

Hey, it's being installed so that the coverage integration works. If you don't want to use coverage in your repo, you can set

[pytest].pytest_plugins = []

in

pants.toml

. Warning that trying to use coverage will error if you do that

okay I have some customization for that pytest integration already:

[pytest]
version = "pytest==3.1.1"
pytest_plugins.add = [
  "pytest-django==2.9.1",
  "pytest-faulthandler==1.3.1"
]

Cool, so you can get rid of the

.add

part and it will override the default, rather than adding to it

ahhh let me try that 🙂
