question: how do we skip running rules on tests with ruleguard?

[harshavardhana]

The self-explanatory question, just need to know if there is a way to skip tests. Was not able to find them in the docs.

Thanks for the help.

Hmm.
Usually, ruleguard is used from the golangci-lint context.
If it can skip test directories, then you should be able to skip warnings for tests with ease.

As for a standalone ruleguard, I don't have a good solution out of my head. Is there a convention that other linters follow?

[peakle]

maybe for specific rules you can use pattern like this one:
m.Where(!m.File().Name.Matches("_test.go")))

[quasilyte]

@peakle that should work, yes.
This has a benefit that ruleguard may at some point use this filter information to avoid even running the rules on a file that would never match the filter.
We don't do this kind of optimization yet, but it's definitely possible.
Any m.File() related filters are a subject for this optimization.
