Skip tests on rez-build

[herronelou]

Hi, using rez-build with the python build system. My package has tests defined that run on build. In most cases, I want these tests to run, but in a few situations I want to be able to iterate quickly, and don't need all the tests to run. It doesn't seem like rez build has an argument to skip tests, is there a way to skip tests on build?

rez-build doesn't run any tests as a part of its work unless the tests are set to "run_on": "pre_install", nor does Rez have a Python build system, so I'm not sure how you're these tests are initiating during your build. That said if you're using vanilla rez-test, you have some options

• explicit: Only run the test when asked (good for big test suites and / or auto-formatter code like black and isort)
• pre_release: Run only before release but not before regular rez-build. Though I think pre_release runs before the build of the released package (and not "after the build but before the release") so I think it won't do what you want it to.

If all else fails, just specifying the tests that you do want to run, explicitly, I think is the only other option.

I do have the tests on pre-install. Maybe I should change them to pre-release instead, and manually trigger the tests after install, but it's fairly new that we have tests, so I wanted to make sure every other dev runs the tests frequently. It wouldn't be so bad if it was a bit easier to run tests (as #1335). I'm also planning to run tests on merge requests via CI so maybe it's not as critical as I first thought to have the tests on pre-install.
