[Jasmine] Rerun all tests when the failing tests pass

[francoisfrisch]

While Testacular is in the mode were it is only running the last failed specs, when all those tests pass I think Testacular should kick off another run to go through all the tests again just to make sure none of the tests which might overlap still pass.

Totally. I already have this on my list. +1

+1 to that. Just had that issue where it said SUCCESS when in reality it ran only 1 test and 3 other tests were broken.

Guys, what do you think, if we just remove this anti-feature ?

• it's not implemented in other adapters and nobody really missed it
• it's flaky as it uses jasmine's ids to determine which specs to run (and these ids are assigned based on the order of specs, so the same spec can in some cases get a different id next run)

I would just remove the magic and say, if you only want to execute specific test, use iit or ddescribe.

Sounds good to me.

I agree, it seems like a great feature but it gets in the way often, and it's not easy to reset on demand.
