Hi,
I have a test suite that depends on a certain order of tests. More
precisely, a unit test, which looks like
public class MyTest extends TestCase {
public void testFoo(){ ... }
public void testBar(){ ... }
}
assumes, that testFoo() is invoked before testBar(). This works fine,
when running the tests from within Ant, or Eclipse.
My impression is, that Surefire doesn't keep this order. Can anyone
confirm this? I assume, that reordering the methods is intentional?
However, if so, two questions arise to me:
- A reordering occurs, both for test classes (which are typically executed in
alphabetical orders by other frameworks), and methods. However, the reorder
doesn't look choosen randomly: It is reproducable.
But if the desired effect is to stop the user from assuming a
certain order, why
isn't it random?
- Would it be possibly to accept a patch, which restores the typical
order on the users
behalf (for example, by setting a property "canonicalOrder")? The
test suite isn't
written by me, and I am almost unable to change it.
Thanks,
Jochen
