Tests execution order

[lester]

Hello to all,

I would like to know whether it's possible to explicitly specify tests
execution order for 'test' task? Something similar to 'runOrder'
configuration setting for maven-surefire-plugin:
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-surefire-plugin/test-mojo.html.

Thank you,
Vladimir

Forgot to mention that I was asking about SBT 0.10.0 version

Hi Vladimir,

It is not possible, no. Can you motivate the need for this? Is it to make failures more reproducible?

Thanks for reply, Mark!

So SBT runs tests in random order, right?

Of course no ;s) I just would like to know for sure that such a
setting doesn't exist.

Actually, I do agree that it's useless. Test shouldn't depend on
execution order.

With parallel execution enabled (the default), the answer is not no. It probably isn't perfectly random, but it isn't deterministic either.

It could be useful. Because it exists for surefire, I would think someone wants/needs it. I just don't know the exact reason.
