#exclude

• Type: string[] | { patterns: string[]; override?: boolean }
• Default: ['**/node_modules/**', '**/dist/**', '**/.{idea,git,cache,output,temp}/**']
• CLI: --exclude "**/node_modules/**"

A list of glob patterns that should be excluded from your test files.

#Example

Exclude the test files under node_modules:

npx rstest --exclude "**/node_modules/**"

import { defineConfig } from '@rstest/core';

export default defineConfig({
  include: ['**/*.{test,spec}.?(c|m)[jt]s?(x)'],
  exclude: ['**/node_modules/**'],
});

#Override default value

By default, Rstest will merge your custom config with the default config. If you want to override the default exclude configuration, you can set override to true.

import { defineConfig } from '@rstest/core';

export default defineConfig({
  include: ['**/*.{test,spec}.?(c|m)[jt]s?(x)'],
  exclude: {
    patterns: ['**/node_modules/**'],
    override: true,
  },
});
