The teardown script automatically runs at the completion of all test functions. The alphabetical order only affects multiple test_* functions. If you have:
def setup end def test_01 end def test_02 end def teardown end They will run in this order: setup, test_01, teardown, setup, test_02, teardown. So if you have 66 tests, only the ones that are called after the first testname should fail, because you're closing the browser and the logger after the first test runs.

I have written a script that asserts whether labels on a page exist or not. Here is a small snippet of code to serve as an example: class TC_banking_info_labels < Test::Unit::TestCase include Watir def test_bank_name assert($ie.span(:text, "bank name").exists?) $logger.log(" FOUND! Banking Information: 'Bank Name' field...") end end I have discovered that the order of operation within the class is alphabetical. (method test_a* will execute before test_z*). My problem is that I have a teardown script located in another file. I can access the methods in the files just fine by accessing them directly. For example by typing in: $close_logger $close_browser The problem with that is that my teardown methods/variables get executed before my Test::Unit::TestCase classes/methods which causes my browser to close before my tests are executed, which causes all 66 of my tests to fail. Here are the contents of my teardown.rb script: require 'watir' #includes for using logger require 'example_logger1' $close_logger = $logger.log("## Testing Complete ##") $close_browser = $ie.close My question is: How can I call this teardown script into my test script and have it executed LAST. How do I control the order in which methods are executed? As always, thank you for your help. I have been researching quite a bit about methods & classes, etc...but there is still a disconnect somewhere...and I am stuck. _______________________________________________ Wtr-general mailing list Wtr-general@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general _______________________________________________ Wtr-general mailing list Wtr-general@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general
