[jira] Commented: (BUILDR-99) Tests should be run according to dependency order

["Assaf Arkin (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BUILDR-99?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12611395#action_12611395 ] 

Assaf Arkin commented on BUILDR-99:
-----------------------------------

Indeed.  If we change this to use dependency, then moduleB would build first, test itself (package=>build=>test), so moduleA could then build and test itself.

>          Components: Test frameworks
>    Affects Versions: 1.3.1, 1.3.2

> Let's have two modules, moduleA and moduleB.
> Let's say moduleA depends on moduleB.
> buildr compiles moduleB before compiling moduleA. This is the expected behavior.
> Then buildr runs tests from moduleA before running tests from moduleB. This behavior can be misleading. A defect in moduleB could make a test in moduleA fail. The test process will stop at moduleA and will not show the failing test in moduleB.
> Although the information that a test in moduleB is failing can be obtained by calling buildr with the 'test=all' option, it requires more intellectual effort to analyze the situation.
> I propose buildr runs tests according to the test dependency tree.
