We've had this discussion before, here is last one I could find: http://markmail.org/message/ftvs45vnzlobo7hb
The solution I would like to propose for the problem David described is for us to make more use of the test-group child element of test- suite and have tests within those groups rollback as a group, for all other test cases we'd roll them back as soon as they complete. Here's an example of what I'm talking about since that description probably did nothing for you:
<test-suite>
<test-case/>
<!-- Rollback here -->
<test-case/>
<!-- Rollback here -->
<test-case/>
<!-- Rollback here -->
<!-- No rollbacks inside the test group -->
<test-group>
<test-case/>
<test-case/>
</test-group>
<!-- Rollback here -->
</test-suite>
A common problem I'm seeing is that we want to run multiple tests on
the same piece of demo data but can't because the previous test has
already altered it. An example might be where you want to try
shipping a single order in various different splits but you can't do
that at the moment without having a separate demo order for each test.
Thoughts? Thanks Scott HotWax Media http://www.hotwaxmedia.com
