It should definitely die screaming if you start running tests before you’ve declared your intents for the plan. I can’t see any appeal in the current beahviour: before the plan is declared, tests can run, will produce no output, won’t affect the count, and will leave everyone none the wiser. That doesn’t seem useful for anything. If you don’t have a plan, you can say so; all’s fair if you predeclare. Regards, -- Aristotle Pagaltzis // <http://plasmasturm.org/>
