Undefining an ERT test?

Undefining an ERT test?

[Douglas Lewan]

For me one flaw of ERT is that it runs tests in alphabetical order, not 
the order in which they were defined. I'd like to test initialization 
before I test more interesting function, for example.

To get around this my tests tend to begin with a 3 digit number 
(starting at 000), and I have code that will renumber them for me. (Test 
000-... runs before test 001-..., before 002-..., etc.) Unfortunately, 
ERT remembers the previous names (and the corresponding test) and when I 
want to run test 012-..., for example, with (ert "012-") ERT might pick 
up a "former" test with a matching name. This is not unsurmountable, but 
it's distracting and occasionally confusing.

So, the question is: Is there something like (fmakunbound) for ERT?

There is `ert-make-test-unbound`.

Thanks, that looks like just the thing.

It's not in my info file (I'm on emacs 24.5). I don't find it in my 26.3 
source tree either. Should it be?

Don't know about 24.5, but I'm pretty sure it should be in 26.3, 
because I remember using it when I was running 26.3.

Just to make sure, I checked out the emacs-26 branch in my local 
copy of the Emacs git repo, and it *is* there, in `ert.el`.

BTW, there's also `ert-delete-test` and `ert-delete-all-tests`, 
which are interactive functions (`ert-make-test-unbound` is not), 
so you can call them with `M-x`.

It looks like my copy of 26.3 was pulled (from ftp.gnu.org). I don't 
remember exactly when, but it looks like the most recent build was on 
2020 May 21. I don't know if it's possible that the development 
repository and ftp.gnu.org/emacs/emacs-26.3.tar.gz could be out of sync.

Just what I want. Thanks.

Something funky going on... I just downloaded emacs-26.3.tar.gz 
from the location you mention and it contains 
`ert-make-test-unbound`

I suspect we may be talking at cross purposes. I'm talking about the 
documentation, which I find to be in doc/misc/ert.texi and 
info/ert.info. Even with a fresh download I find no reference to 
ert-make-test-unbond. In the source, lisp/emacs-lisp/ert.el, however, 
all the relevantare defined.

In my original post I was referring to the documentation (as mentioned 
above). I'll ask my questino again: Should the function 
ert-make-test-unbound be mentioned in the info? How about its wrapper 
commands ert-delete-test and ert-delete-all-tests?

Sorry if I wasn't clear the first time.

My apologies, I obviously misunderstood. I didn't check the 
documentation at all, I found the function with `C-h f` (back when 
I looked for the same thing myself and yesterday after I read your 
question).

You are right, `ert-delete-test` and `ert-delete-all-tests` should 
probably be in the documentation. I just checked the ERT docs that 
come with my Emacs 27 install and those two functions don't seem 
to be mentioned.
