When running

./pants test ::

is there anyway to ensure that a given test gets run first? I have a very slow tests that I would like to ensure is in the first batch. I think it could speed up my test sweet since it runs long after every other test.

there is not currently, but that is a very good idea.

Could test tags be used for this?

I don't have a timeout set since we have some pretty long tests which we are working on cleaning up.

@jolly-midnight-72759: yea. it also assumes that they’re all running in the same process,

They are python tests, but it's an entire target that is slow. My assumption was pants was creating processes for each test invokation

if the tests had

timeout

values configured, we could run them from longest to shortest… without those we’d have to have some “memory” of how long they took

I could figure out a timeout that worked for my test since the timeout could be arbitrarily large.

Stu, do we then order the await MultiGet in the order we want?

I don't think that that would guarantee it... I think we would need to fiddle a bit deeper, and probably adjust AsyncSemaphore to have a notion of priority
