[Perlunit-users] Using @TESTS for changing tests execution order

[Dmitry D. <dd...@ic...>]

Hi All!

I read from TestCase.pm POD that one can populate @TESTS array in order 
to specify the desired order of tests execution:

### quote begin

If you need to specify the test order, you can do one of the
following:

=over 4

=item * Set @TESTS

   our @TESTS = qw(my_test my_test_2);

This is the simplest, and recommended way.

### quote end

But the above does not work for me. I can include only desired tests 
using @TESTS, but they are listed and executed in a random order, 
although I name them as test_001_foo, test_oo2_bar, etc. I think that 
the reason is in the following return statement (line 114 of TestCase.pm):

     return keys %tests;

I decided to override list_tests method like this:

sub list_tests {
     my $self = shift;
     return sort $self->SUPER::list_tests(@_);
}

It works as expected. What do you think? Am I missing something?

Thanks
Dmitry.
