testconfig.rb : added excluded_dirs entry to the onceover.yaml file

[franknarf8]

• Adds the ability to ignore additional folders based on an entry in the onceover.yaml file
• Helps reducing the time spent copying left and right

I might need some assistance on that one :S
I'm not quite sure what this yumrepo stuff is about, but I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with this merge request.

Thanks in advance!

Hey Frank, I've fixed those tests. Can you please add something to the README.md and I'll approve, this is a good feature. Out of interest what is the use case for this?

[franknarf8]

Thanks Dylan,

Sorry about closing/opening the PR, I accidentally pressed the wrong button.

About the use case, I had performance issues, as onceover was copying way too many files (e.g. .git/, and other unnecessary fat hidden folders)

I'll add a section in the README.md momentarily

Thanks!

Mmm, looks like the deploy_local code was extracted away, making the testconfig properties inaccessible. Should we :

1. pass the TestConfig object to deploy_local
2. find a new home to the additional_excluded_dirs list
3. deserialize the Controlrepo.onceover_yaml property within deploy_local?

I would opt for option 1.

Hello again @dylanratcliffe ,

So I have adapted my changes to the latest code restructuring; but the unit tests are still not passing. I'm not quite sure, I have something to do with it though. Can you have a look?

Thanks
