Run unittest only when there is a code change - #1208
Merged
Conversation
The unittest workflow is very expensive. Try to limit the triggers. Only run the workflow when there is a change in Python code or in relevant configuration file.

Pull request overview
This pull request modifies the unittest workflow to run only when relevant files are changed, switching from a paths-ignore approach to an explicit paths approach. The goal is to reduce expensive unittest workflow runs by being more selective about which file changes trigger the workflow.
Changes:
- Replaced
paths-ignorewith explicitpathsfilters for bothpushandpull_requesttriggers - Added specific file and directory patterns that should trigger unit tests
- Included configuration files related to build and testing setup
Comments suppressed due to low confidence (1)
.github/workflows/unittest.yml:37
- Neither
setup.cfgnorsetup.pyexist in the repository. The project usespyproject.tomlwith setuptools backend for configuration (lines 5-7 of pyproject.toml showbuild-backend = \"setuptools.build_meta\"). These non-existent files should be removed from the trigger paths.
- "setup.cfg"
- "setup.py"
