Comment (by aaugustin): This proposal for test case reordering still assumes that all TransactionTestCase define available_apps. I'm not sure we can provide a generic solution, and the current code (hack?) looks good enough for Django's own test suite. Indeed, our problem is that we want to express "between X and X" in terms of "before X" and "after X", and we don't have enough context to optimize things. One possibility would be to add a global variable to track information about the state of the database, so the next test case could know what the previous did. Still, as long as we try to maintain strict backwards compatibility, there's no silver bullet. -- Ticket URL: <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/20579#comment:4> Django <https://code.djangoproject.com/> The Web framework for perfectionists with deadlines. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django updates" group.
