pre-commit exclude is ignored

Question

Is it possible to ignore directories and files when using the mypy pre-commit by specifying exclude?

My .pre-commit-config.yaml file:

default_language_version:
    python: python3.6
repos:
-   repo: https://github.com/pre-commit/pre-commit-hooks
    rev: v2.1.0
    hooks:
    -   id: flake8
        args: [ignore_me, not_me]
        exclude: 'ignore_me' # This works, and skips the directory ignore_me, and only runs flake8 on the not_me directory
-   repo: https://github.com/pre-commit/mirrors-mypy
    rev: v0.670
    hooks:
    -   id: mypy
        args: [--ignore-missing-imports, .]
        exclude: 'ignore_me' # I still see mypy errors from the ignore_me directory

When I commit in my repository, I still see mypy errors from ignore_me and I don’t get the flake8 errors.

you’ll note I didn’t use exclude anywhere, I instead configured mypy settings for individual modules

Sorry but it’s still unclear to me how to make mypy ignore errors in specific files. The link in your post doesn’t provide an example of that.

I’ve tried adding

exclude: path/to/my/folder

to .pre-commit-config.yaml

and I’ve tried adding

[mypy]
exclude = path/to/my/folder

to mypy.ini

I’ve also tried adding

args: [--exclude path/to/my/folder]

to .pre-commit-config.yaml

None of it worked.
