First I'll say I completely agree with this. If tests/specs fail or pass depending on the order of execution then there must be serious problems with your test suite. Now to address the OP. I know of nothing "built-in" any of the testing frameworks for this. What I suppose you would need to do is write your own script that searches though your project for all test classes then executes them in a random order. This, however, would only randomize the testing classes, each test within each class would still execute in whatever order the test framework decided to run them. Which, would mean that you would probably also have to replace the test runner with your own that could randomize each method of each test class. In conclusion if this is a solid requirement of your project, I'm really glad it's your project and not mine. :) Good luck. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
