You can instruct Pytest to exclude specific directories from testing with the --ignore option.
To exclude a single directory, execute:
pytest --ignore=somedirectory
To exclude multiple directories at once, use:
pytest --ignore=somedirectory --ignore=someotherdirectory
Additionally, to have Pytest automatically ignore certain directories every time without needing to specify them manually for each session, you can set this in the pytest.ini file:
[pytest]
addopts = --ignore=somedirectory --ignore=someotherdirectory
