Description by prouleau001@gmail.com:
In nose main page, http://somethingaboutorange.com/mrl/projects/nose/, the section titled **Writing tests** says:
[quote]
Like py.test, functional tests will be run in the order in which they appear in the module file. TestCase derived tests and other test classes are run in alphabetical order.
[endquote]
nose 0.9.1 does not seem to do this at all. It seems that it performs the tests in the following order:
- run test functions that are defined with the raises decorator - runs the other test functions in alphabetical order of the test function names
py.test does run the test functions in order of appearance in the module and I'd like to be able to depend on that when using nose.

Fixed with tests as of [137]. The problem here is decorators, specifically decorators that replace the decorated function with a new function without carrying over the decorated function's attributes. All decorators in nose.tools do this correctly now, but other decorators that misbehave will result in tests being run out of order -- or not at all.
