Exclude specific plugins from xunit2 output

• a detailed description of the bug or suggestion It would be nice if specific plugins’ output could be omitted from xunit2 report, for instance via include/exclude params in pytest.ini. In this particular case I’m filtering out testcases with name="PYTEST", because it’s reporting source files as test (and mostly skips when unchanged).

• output of pip list from the virtual environment you are using

Django==2.2.12
pylint==2.5.0
pytest==5.4.1
pytest-cov==2.8.1
pytest-django==3.9.0
pytest-pylint==0.16.1

• pytest and operating system versions For pytest, see versions above from pip Windows 10 with Python 3.6.7 & 3.7.4 Ubuntu 18.04 (on WSL) with Python 3.6.7 & 3.7.7

• minimal example if possible Useless testcase output is providing incompatible class name and reports source files as testcases

    <testcase classname="manage../c/path/to/repo/source/manage.py" name="PYLINT" time="0.001">
      <skipped message="file(s) previously passed pylint checks" type="pytest.skip">
        ~/.virtualenvs/app367/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pytest_pylint/plugin.py:319: file(s) previously passed pylint checks
      </skipped>
    </testcase>
    <testcase classname="app.admin./c/path/to/repo/source/app/admin.py" name="PYLINT" time="0.007"></testcase>

Sorry if I was not clear, I understood the use case, I was wondering what the option would look like.

An option combo like --ignore and --ignore-glob for the testcase/class name could do the trick in this case, because all pylint cases are named “PYLINT”.

For example something like this?

[pytest]
junit_ignore_casename_glob = PYLINT

@RonnyPfannschmidt I’m inclined to agree with you, but that would suggest not having pytest-pylint at all?

The settings for unittest / coverage (pytest-cov) / linter (pytest-pylint) all go in pytest.ini. I can’t run pytest for different use cases (tests/coverage, linting) from a single pytest.ini file (they inherit addopts anyway). In my pipeline I import the pytest output in Sonar with SonarPython, which has deprecated running pylint itself.

@nicoddemus that option also sounds fine, it is indeed more particular to the xunit output So then it would be junit_ignore_casename_glob/--junit-ignore-casename-glob=XYZ and junit_ignore_casename/--junit-ignore-casename=XYZ
