pytestdjangoordering 1.2.0

pytest-django advertises “easy switching.” While it’s true that existing unittest-style
tests will work without any modifications, you may have problems switching if you
depend on the order in which the Django test runner runs tests. This plugin helps
preserve that order if you need it to run your tests.

Motivation
The Django test runner gives priority to Django TestCase subclasses, executing them
before other Django-based tests (e.g., TransactionTestCase) and any other unittest.TestCase
tests. Put differently, Django runs tests which reset the database by rolling back
a transaction before tests which reset the database by truncating all tables.
pytest-django doesn’t preserve this ordering out of the box. For more, see #214.
This isn’t a problem if your project’s tests can run independently of each other,
in any order. However, if your project’s tests rely on initial data populated via
fixtures or migrations, tests which reset the database by rolling back a transaction
must run before tests which reset the database by truncating all tables, thereby
deleting any initial data. The serialized_rollback option can be used to deal with
this issue within a TransactionTestCase, but it has no effect across distinct
test cases; once you exit a TransactionTestCase, any initial data is gone.

Installation
This plugin supports Python 2.7, 3.5, and 3.6. Install with pip:
$ pip install pytest-django-ordering
You’re done! pytest will automatically find and integrate the plugin.
