Hello, I'm curious if a patch for prove that included an --exclude parameter would be welcome?
Rationale: I'm currently using prove to do some smoke testing, but I have a few directories I don't want to smoke. Rather than list all the places that I do want to smoke, I'd rather list the places to exclude. This way, when new directories are added, I don't have to remember to include them. More general rationale: Since prove already permits a list of places to test, including a list of places not to test is really just adding convenience without changing any current functionality. Good idea / bad idea? If this is deemed a bad idea, my next step would probably be to write a tool that generates a list of arguments functionally equivalent to using an exclude directive and then passes them on to prove. Thanks, -Dan
