How to disable the auto discovery of unit-tests in Visual Studio Code Python Module

Question

Working on a big project with ms-python.python module of VS-Code, I have to wait for a long time for the unit-test discovery after saving any changes. Also discovering all unit-tests consumes much power on laptop. Is there any way to disable auto discovery and call it just whenever adding a new test (or remove a one)?

Answer 1

Click on settings

"python.unitTest.autoTestDiscoverOnSaveEnabled": false

And add this line to your PROJECT SETTINGS

This would disable the autotest discovery on every change in your project workspace.
