Subject: Undefining an ERT test?
Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2020 17:52:31 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <30b33d01-3196-af12-fd6e-db9516829a49@gmail.com> (raw)
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?

If this is what winning looks like, I'd hate to see what losing is.
