Next only builds code that you actually use inside your pages and route handlers. If a test file is getting compiled it's likely because you imported it somewhere where you shouldn't have.

hi, i've verified that this is not the case and that it's not being imported anywhere. I did this by checking

There's the
dirs option, but i only want to ignore .*test.* files during next's linting phase.That's much easier to solve. You needed to look up ESLint's docs.
