Disable some SwiftLint rules for test target/unit tests files

Question

I am looking to disable a couple of SwiftLint rules for the unit tests within my application.

For example I am wanting to disable the weak_delegate rule for my unit tests.

Having looked at the SwiftLint docs I think it may be possible by defining a custom weak_delegate rule and excluding the path to my unit tests.

You can disable them at a local level using:

//swiftlint:disable weak_delegate
let someDelete: someDelegate?
//swiftlint:enable weak_delegate

or at target level, by modifying your .swiftlint.yml file (hidden)

weak_delegate:
    excluded: ".*Test\\.swift" //regex path to your tests folder

or at project level, by modifying your .swiftlint.yml file (hidden)

disabled_rules:
 - weak_delegate
