Configuration

tryke is configured via pyproject.toml under the [tool.tryke] table.

pyproject.toml

[tool.tryke]
exclude = ["benchmarks/", "scripts/generate.py"]

exclude

A list of file paths or directory patterns to exclude from test discovery:

[tool.tryke]
exclude = [
    "benchmarks/",
    "scripts/",
    "tests/legacy/",
]

Excluded paths are skipped during both test collection and import graph construction.

CLI overrides

--exclude / -e

Override the pyproject.toml exclude list from the command line:

tryke test --exclude benchmarks/ --exclude scripts/

Note: --exclude replaces the config file setting, it does not extend it.

--include / -i

Include files or directories that would otherwise be excluded by pyproject.toml:

tryke test --include tests/legacy/

This is useful for one-off runs against normally excluded paths without editing the config file.

--root

Override the project root (where tryke looks for pyproject.toml and test files):

tryke test --root /path/to/project

Example

A typical configuration for a project with benchmarks and generated code:

[tool.tryke]
exclude = [
    "benchmarks/",
    "scripts/codegen/",
    "tests/fixtures/generated/",
]

# Normal run — respects pyproject.toml excludes
tryke test

# One-off: include the benchmarks
tryke test --include benchmarks/

# One-off: different exclude set
tryke test --exclude tests/slow/
