Jeff,
Watir::TestCase executes all def test_ methods sequentially by default now.
Bret has fixed it (thanks)
Just subst Watir::TestCase (which subtypes Test::Unit::TestCase)
like so...
class TC_blaghamuga < Watir::TestCase
def test_zigbat end
def test_junitox end
end
and all def test_ fixtures will run sequentially. (take a look at Watir Rdoc
for Watir::TestCase for more info)
To run TestCases sequentially I just call them individually pulling each out
of the Array hat
testscenario.each {|testcase| TestRunner.run(testcase)}
(which requires some infrastructrue:
require 'test/unit/ui/console/testrunner'
include Test::Unit::UI::Console
)

One option is to have a setup test that you guarantee executes first.
Something like
def test_aaa_setup_environment
# do initial setup for the upcoming tests
end
You could of course do something similar for teardown like
def test_zzz_teardown_environment
# do teardown stuff
end
This works because Test::Unit executes tests in alphabetical order...but
there may be more elegant solutions as well. If folks know of them, please
speak up.
One thing I wouldn't recommend in general is to just put the initial steps
in the current first test in your suite. This might be fine but seems
fragile. If something else becomes the new first test, you'll need to copy
code to the new test.
