Unfortunately we don't use Rspec on our project, although I think we may give it a try > But why do you need this anyway?

Well, actually, the answer is in your words :-) Each test *should* start from a clean state, but what if it doesn't? For us it's a great value to have a suite of test executed every time in a random order (better, every single test method in every test class should be "shuffled"). Dependency between tests is a really bad anti-pattern, and we want to know if this happens as soon as possible. anyway, thanks for your response, Piero > > Best, > -- > Marnen Laibow-Koserhttp://www.marnen.org > [email protected] > -- > Posted viahttp://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
