How to exclude or skip specific directory while running 'go test'

Question

go test $(go list ./... | grep -v /vendor/) -coverprofile .testCoverage.txt

I am using the above command to test the files but there is 1 folder with the name "Store" that I want to exclude from tests. How it can be done?

`./...` doesn't include `./vendor`, so you don't need that grep. Otherwise, what's wrong with another grep? — JimB, Mar 18 '19 at 15:18
As of Go 1.9, or so, `./...` already excludes the vendor directory. Upgrade to a newer version of Go. — Jonathan Hall, Mar 18 '19 at 15:19
@Flimzy my version is already : go version go1.11.1 linux/amd64 — kishorK, Mar 18 '19 at 15:22
if they ignore vendor, they could allow this as option - e.g. I would like to skip also mocks directory. — Kamil Dziedzic, Jun 14 '23 at 23:07

You're already doing it:

$(go list ./... | grep -v /vendor/)

The grep -v /vendor/ part is to exclude the /vendor/ directory. So just do the same for your Store directory:

go test $(go list ./... | grep -v /Store/) -coverprofile .testCoverage.txt

Note that excluding /vendor/ this way is not necessary (unless you're using a really old version of Go). If you are using an old version of Go, you can combine them:

go test $(go list ./... | grep -v /vendor/ | grep -v /Store/) -coverprofile .testCoverage.txt
