Does that major new piece include the per-method threading you
promised you'd deliver for 2.10 in return for me consolidating the
site generation? :-P
I said I'd do it, but not for which version ;) No. There are some pain
points in the forking
code that I need to sort out before we can do that feature. I did some
sorting out for 2.9, but
there's more left. But I /am/ sorting them out ;) I'm a big mikado
method fan, and I have a
few more mikado sticks to move before I can go for the gold ;)
The new feature is runorder="failedfirst" and runorder="balanced", where
balanced
distributes tests on threads (and later for you, forks ;) to minimize
overall runtime. This is
especially useful with long-running tests, to avoid a single test
running for 2 minutes after
all the other tests are completed. (This always seems to happen on our
selenium tests ;)
(a bin-packing problem, NP complete if memory serves me right. )
BTW: On the topic of 2.11, there's
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SUREFIRE-782 for you, Stephen ;)
