Custom order for running tests about core

[thetutlage]

Yup, will be fixed in the next version

@thetutlage Actually I created a fork for it, I'm going to make a PR for it.

https://github.com/un-versed/japa

I'm exposing a sort function, that can be used at configure method in japaFile.ts

The code:

japaFile.ts

const collator = new Intl.Collator(undefined, { numeric: true, sensitivity: 'base' })

/**
 * Configure test runner
 */
configure({
  files: ['test/**/*.spec.ts'],
  before: [
    runMigrations,
    runSeeds,
    startHttpServer,
  ],
  after: [rollbackMigrations],
  sort: collator.compare
})

I'm using a collator, but you can use any sorting function tho

The previous code still works because:
src/SlimRunner/Loader.ts

 /**
  * If _sortFn is defined, then filter the files
  */
    if (typeof (this._sortFn) === 'function') {
      filesPaths = filesPaths.sort(this._sortFn)
    } else {
      filesPaths.sort()
    }

I'm changing my repo to match the CONTRIBUTING.md rn

Great :) Actually, I am changing the japa a lot. Diving it into a separate runner and separate core. So PR for the old codebase won't help

[un-versed]

Oh, I got it 👍🏻 anxious for the new version ☺️

But, there's a chance do add this in the old codebase? Actually I'm using my own package distribution from Japa in npm, just to have this feature in my project.

If there's no chance, I won't write tests for it right now...

[thetutlage]

Sure. Feel free to send a PR for the develop branch

The newer version allows defining a custom function for the files property. You can achieve what you need as follows.

import fastGlob from 'fast-glob'

const collator = new Intl.Collator(undefined, { numeric: true, sensitivity: 'base' })

files: async () => {
  const files = await fastGlob('tests/**/*.spec.js') 
  return files.sort(collator)
}

Lemme know if you face any issues. We can reopen the issue
