Hello! I'm currently working on a testsuite using Python's unittest library. This works all good and fine, but there's one thing where I haven't seen an elegant solution to yet, and that is the ordering. Currently, it takes all classes and orders them alphabetically and then takes all test functions therein and runs those alphabetically, too. However, sometimes it doesn't make sense to run test_bar() if test_foo() already failed, because they basically build upon each other. However, test_bar() is still run first, and test_foo() second.
What I sometimes do is to simply number them, like test_1_foo() and test_2_bar(), but that seems ugly. I'm not even looking for a way to express complicated relations between tests, but is there a less ugly way to explicitly order them? Cheers!
