Bill and Nils,
I tried this on my large test suite under linux, and it seems to work. I
checked that the serial tests in my suite were still run alone (although in
my particular setup that happened to already occur). I also did not notice
any violation of the RESOURCE_LOCK constraints which are also present in my
suite.
I get reduced overall runtime as this change seems to do a better job of
getting the dependent tests run early. I did not evaluate this enough to
make a quantitative statement.
Does this change the logic to run previously failed tests first or was that
already the case? I am not sure whether or not this is a better behavior.
Can running failed tests first be considered a separate modification
rather than part of the fix to running serial?
Looks like a good change overall.
Thank you
