Add ability to use globs when using --ignore

[machinekoder]

There is no command line option for pytest to ignore a specific directory pattern.

For example:

-- code.py
-- tests
---- test_code.py
---- integration
------ test_code_integration.py

I would like to disable all integration tests.

The argument --ignore=integration does not work.

I have also tried -k="not integration" which works, but for some reason is ignored when executing pytest via pytest.main.

Note: Of couse I could specify the full path using the --ignore argument, but the actual project is much more complex and contains many tests and integration folders.

GitMate.io thinks possibly related issues are #1879 (Ignore class name pattern), #1261 (Cannot install in custom directory), #3198 (Ignore individual tests), #2078 (Error when --confcutdir is not a directory), and #846 (--ignore option doesn't work).

Thanks @machinekoder for the suggestion.

I've labeled this as an improvement, given that what you describe a feature request. Your title alone suggests that this is a bug though, could you please rephrase it? Something along the lines of Add ability to use globs when using --ignore, which better conveys that this is a feature request. Thanks!

@machinekoder could you show how you're invoking pytest.main - - I expect it to work the same there too
