Skip configuration for certain paths only

[andreas-h]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I'm a bit annoyed by the B101 assert_used warnings in my testing code, as pytest recommends (and I follow) using assert statements. It's confusing that bandit complains about them. On the other hand, I want to be warned about using assert in my non-test code.

Describe the solution you'd like I'd like to be able to ignore pattern B101 for the /tests folder only.

sounds rationale to me @andreas-h , is this a patch you would like to work on?

Alternatively, can we make Bandit a bit smarter in a way that it recognizes when assert is used in a test module, and not warn about it?

Hi, the following may be helpful to configure bandit to avoid raising B101 assert_used warnings on python tests.

I am facing the same issue, is there a way to exclude B101 in the /tests folder? I tried to use the assert_used but this does not seem to work.
