Running tests in certain order

[noopur2507]

I do not see any equivalent of the JUnit 4 method org.junit.runner.Request.sortWith(Comparator<Description> comparator) in JUnit 5 M4, which can be used to run the tests in a certain order, defined by the comparator.

Is it planned to provide such support or can it be done in some other way?

Eclipse uses this to rerun a test with failures first, which has been disabled for JUnit 5: bug 518052.

Hi @noopur2507,

At the moment there is currently no mechanism for ordering the execution of tests.

Once #48 is addressed this will likely change since ordering is a requirement of scenario tests. Having said that, however, that support may only exist within JUnit Jupiter instead of the Platform proper.

I am therefore going to reopen #13 and am closing this issue as a duplicate of #13.
