Changing standard (Python) test discovery
 | 
						|
===============================================
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
changing directory recursion
 | 
						|
-----------------------------------------------------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
You can set the :confval:`norecursedirs` option in an ini-file, for example your ``setup.cfg`` in the project root directory::
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    # content of setup.cfg
 | 
						|
    [pytest]
 | 
						|
    norecursedirs = .svn _build tmp*
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This would tell py.test to not recurse into typical subversion or sphinx-build directories or into any ``tmp`` prefixed directory.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
always try to interpret arguments as Python packages
 | 
						|
-----------------------------------------------------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
You can use the ``--pyargs`` option to make py.test try
 | 
						|
interpreting arguments as python package names, deriving
 | 
						|
their file system path and then running the test. Through
 | 
						|
an ini-file and the :confval:`addopts` option you can make
 | 
						|
this change more permanently::
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    # content of setup.cfg or tox.ini
 | 
						|
    [pytest]
 | 
						|
    addopts = --pyargs
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
finding out what is collected
 | 
						|
-----------------------------------------------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
You can always peek at the collection tree without running tests like this::
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    . $ py.test --collectonly collectonly.py
 | 
						|
    <Module 'collectonly.py'>
 | 
						|
      <Function 'test_function'>
 | 
						|
      <Class 'TestClass'>
 | 
						|
        <Instance '()'>
 | 
						|
          <Function 'test_method'>
 | 
						|
          <Function 'test_anothermethod'>
 |
