Can we disable lints for functions with names that match a pattern?

tldr: How can we require docstrings on all functions, except those with names prefixed with test_?

Usually we write test functions with names that describe the purpose of the test: e.g. test_fries_eggs() and test_adds_ketchup(). We don't write docstrings on these test functions because the name of the test should be descriptive enough to tell us what the test is doing, so they would be redundant.

We do however want docstrings on all other functions.

At the moment we use the tool.ruff.lint.per-file-ignores config option to disable the docstring-related lints on files named test_*.py, but this unfortunately means that any other function within the test files is not required to have docstrings, which is not what we want.

Is there a way of telling ruff to ignore lints on functions with names matching a specific pattern?

No, I'm sorry. There's currently no way of disabling rules on a per-function level.
