How to get a report for only `.test.ts` files in a `/test` directory?

[fuhrmanator]

Hello - thanks for making and contributing gitinspector!

My students have to write tests, too, and they're in .test.ts files in a /test directory, e.g., test/useCase01.test.ts. I have tried to get a report for only tests, and haven't succeeded yet:

• I tried using -f test.ts as an extension, but it's not recognized.
• Following the -x "author:^(?!(John Smith))" in the documentation, I tried something similar: -x "file:^(?!(test))" but it doesn't match the files, even though it will exclude them with -x file:test.

Is there another way?

Here is a test run on the gitinspector repo targeting the translations directory and only considering the .po extension:

./gitinspector.py -x 'file:^(?!(gitinspector/translations))' -f po

Note that this is the relative path from the root of the project directory. If you want to be more broad and catch all translations directories recursively you would do something like, -x 'file:^(?!(.*translations))'

Also note there might be a difference between using single quotes vs double quotes depending on what terminal you are using.

In your case I would guess -f ts -x 'file:^(?!(*.test))' would do the trick. This would recursively consider all the test directories and only include .ts files in the analysis.

Thank you - it worked with -x 'file:^(?!(test))' -f ts -- I wasn't aware that the -f ts was also needed, but it makes sense now.
