Comment #5 on issue 1594 by asmeurer: bin/test --random should also shuffle tests inside a file
http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/detail?id=1594
I'm not sure if it's worth it. We would have to do an audit of the test files to see what sort of things we are doing that this would disallow, but I suspect that the result would be to make the tests less readable and more of a pain to write. I'm also dubious if it will result in catching many errors that we wouldn't catch otherwise, but, again, I could be wrong.
To be clear, it would not matter for helper functions, because the only thing this is suggesting is to change the order that the test_functions are run in, which is completely independent of the order that they are compiled in (which is always in the order they are in in the file). The things it would break are things like global symbol definitions midway through the file.
Vinzent, do you still think this is a good idea? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sympy-issues" group.
