How to tell py.test to skip certain directories?

Question

I tried to use the norecursedirs option inside setup.cfg to tell py.test not to collect tests from certain directories but it seems it does ignore it.

[tool:pyte

In my case, the issue was the missing wildcard. The following works for me:

[tool:pytest]
norecursedirs = subpath/*

whereas just norecursedirs = subpath didn't.
