Nose order plugin

This plugin allows methods in Nose test classes to run in the order they are

defined, rather than alphabetically.

Note that it is bad practice to rely on test order. If you can avoid it, do so;

otherwise this plugin is for you.

INSTALLATION

From PyPI: pip install nose_order_plugin

From source: setup.py install

USAGE

- Mark the test class with the nose_order_plugin.ordered decorator

- Pass the --with-ordered-tests option to Nose

CAVEATS

- Only plain classes may be ordered. Classes deriving from unittest.TestCase

  are incompatible with this plugin.

- The plugin looks at source code lines for ordering; if the methods are not

  defined in a single file (or other magic is used), the ordering might not be

  precise.

- Test generators are not supported -- they might work, but they're untested.

DEVELOPMENT

The current maintainer is Petr Viktorin 

The plugin was originally developed as part of the FreeIPA project.

Development is done on Github: github.com/encukou/nose-order-plugin

Issues and pull requests are welcome.

A Github-less workflow is also available:

- git clone github.com/encukou/nose-order-plugin

- Create a set of patches and mail them to the author,

  or host a Git branch and send a link to it by e-mail.
