Is there a way to tell rebar not to run eunit tests for the dependencies?

Question

When running:

./rebar eunit

the tests are run also for the external dependencies. Is there a way to change this behaviour? Maybe through the rebar.config file?

./rebar eunit skip_deps=true

(or recursive=false with latest versions).

Cool. It works. I've tried to set that in the rebar.config ({skip_deps, true}. and {eunit, [{skip_deps, true}]}.) with no luck, though. – Roberto Aloi Aug 10 '11 at 11:28

Note that `./rebar clean get-deps compile eunit skip_deps=true` doesn't work -- _why not_? Because `rebar` will skip *compile*-ing the dependencies, too! Separate commands `./rebar clean get-deps compile` and `./rebar eunit skip_deps=true` works, though. – Steve Powell Mar 01 '13 at 15:01

You also can also use

./rebar eunit apps=your_app1,your_app2

This will run eunit test only for the specified applications.

There is also an option to run tests only for specific application:

./rebar eunit app=app_name

That doesn't actually work for me. I'm using the latest snapshot of rebar from GitHub. Which version are you running? – Roberto Aloi Aug 10 '11 at 13:27
@Roberto Alio: Strange. My version is "rebar version: 2 date: 20110714_102521 vcs: git df86768" – Ivan Dubrov Aug 12 '11 at 04:09
