Unexpected @depends behaviour

[ondrejmirtes]

When I have a tree of depending tests:

• testBasic
  • testBar($a) (depending on testBasic)
  • testLorem($a) (depending on testBasic)
    • testFoo($a) (depending on testLorem)
  • testIpsum($a) (depending on testBasic)

They are executed linearily and still the same object is passed as argument, so for example at testIpsum, I got the object with changes from testLorem). Which I consider as unexpected and not wanted behaviour.

I think that the order of executed tests should be tree-like, everytime with a new object:

running testBasic: testBasic
running testBar: testBasic - testBar
running testLorem: testBasic - testLorem
running testFoo: testBasic - testLorem - testFoo
running testIpsum - testBasic - testIpsum

The documentation reads "PHPUnit does not change the order in which tests are executed, you have to ensure that the dependencies of a test can actually be met before the test is run.".

That said, please have a look at issues #10 and #11.

I wasn't complaining about the order of the executed tests, but about the fact described in #11. Thank you very much!
