Excluding Files to be Transferred When Running a Test

Often the test script directory may contain files that are not required for running a test.

You may exclude those unwanted files using .iobignore to reduce the time for transferring files to target test hosts.

Examples of .iobignore files.

*.yaml

All .yaml files will be ignored.

function*

All files and directories starting with function will be ignored.

util

Only util file or util directory will be ignored. If util.js exists, it will NOT be ignored.

test.js

All test.js files will be ignored.

regression/long
regression/fast/
regression/simple/*

regression/long directory will be ignored. regression/fast/ directory will be ignored. regression/simple/* directory will be ignored.
