How do we ignore the files or validate-module-error during sanity testing in ansible 3.x version?

I have never used `ansible-test sanity` but according to the [page you linked to](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/dev_guide/testing/sanity/validate-modules.html#help):

> Type `ansible-test sanity --test validate-modules -h` to display help for using this sanity test.

And if you do that there is this options:

```auto
  --skip-test TEST tests to skip

```

Could you use this argument to skip the test(s) you don’t want to be run?
