Is it possible to determine test order in testthat?

Question

I am using testthat to check the code in my package. Some of my tests are for basic functionality, such as constructors and getters. Others are for complex func

Answer 1

To answer your question, I don't think it can be determined other than by having appropriate alphanumeric naming of your test-*.R files.

From testthat source, this is the function which test_package calls, via test_dir, to get the tests:

find_test_scripts <- function(path, filter = NULL, invert = FALSE, ...) {
  files <- dir(path, "^test.*\\.[rR]$", full.names = TRUE)

What is wrong with just letting the complex task fail first, anyway?
