Sorting modules for doctest

[Zach R]

Hello!

Love Sphinx and have been using it for years.

One thing that I've never managed to get set up is to have the doctests all done in a deterministic (preferably alphabetic) order when run with "sphinx -b doctest"

Is there any way to do this easily?

Thanks!

Zach

I use an external tool (atelier, written by myself) to run doctest on every document of my Sphinx doctrees. It sorts the docs alphabetically to avoid such surprises:

https://www.lino-framework.org/dev/doctests.html

IOW, create a subdirectory "tests" next to your docs directory, create a file test_docs.py in that directory as described, then run "pip install atelier" and "python -m unittest discover -s tests".
