Allow run_test.py to disable particular unit tests in a set of tests #53

Closed teor2345 closed 4 years ago

Some of stem's tests hang in Tor's Travis CI.

So we'd like to be able to say something like: run_tests.py --test process --exclude-test process.test_take_ownership_via_controller

Thanks teor! This is a great idea. I've made --exclude-test work in a similar way to --test, so it can either skip test modules or individual tests. For a couple examples please see...

Feel free to reopen if you'd like any adjustments.

Thanks for this change!

We don't need it right now, because all the stem tests are passing. (Thanks for helping us with those fixes.) But it will be useful in future, when we need to diagnose CI issues.
