Bug #14408 for Test-Harness: Test::Harness ticket 13141

Hi Andy, Congrats on your brilliant module and 'prove' tool. I updated CPAN bug ticket 13141 to suggest that tests should be run in sorted order by default: Sorted should be the default behaviour - if you don't want sorted you can use --shuffle option. Suggest the following patch: *** /opt/local/perl/bin/prove Tue Jul 19 12:22:37 2005 --- /tmp/prove Fri Sep 2 11:56:35 2005 *************** *** 114,120 **** warn "$start: $!\n"; } ! return @hits; } sub shuffle { --- 114,120 ---- warn "$start: $!\n"; } ! return sort @hits; } sub shuffle { The lack of sorted tests is causing me grief, there are dependencies between tests which I attend to resolve via a naming scheme: (dpitt@tdevs183)/vobs/gcm/src/db/t> prove --dry ./20_cm_update_le_tree.t ./15_cm_engine_prepare.t ./30_cm_risk_summ_compute.t (dpitt@tdevs183)/vobs/gcm/src/db/t> /tmp/prove --dry ./15_cm_engine_prepare.t ./20_cm_update_le_tree.t ./30_cm_risk_summ_compute.t David Pitt | Basel II Technology | National Australia Bank Limited Phone +61 3 8641 2014 | Email david.pitt@national.com.au | Level 6, 500 Bourke Street, Melbourne This email is sent by or on behalf of the named sender identified above.
