Is there a way to not run the setup callback during doctests?
Is there a way to not run the setup callback during doctests? For example, I’d like to have a test .exs file that both runs doctests using doctest and regular tests using test against the same code module, but I would like the setup callback to only run before each test and not doctest. Is there a way to do this, or is the only way to separate them into separate modules?
Thank you!

Scoping the setup block should do the trick:
describe "tests with setup" do
setup do
end
test "test with setup", %{...} do
end
end

There’s a :test_type available in the test context that will be :test or :doctest (or I think the property testing library sets this as well):
setup %{test_type: test_type} do
unless test_type == :doctest do
# perform setup
end
end
Though I think separating things with describe blocks is a totally valid solution as well

@stefanchrobot @brettbeatty Thank you both so much! This answers both of my questions exactly. Both of these will be useful. Thanks again.
