Is jasmine supposed to execute specs in the order they are declared or in a random order?

Question

un-comment the last spec. All hell breaks loose... why?

describe('test', function() {   var index = 1;    it('test 1', function() {     expect(index).toBe(1);     index++;   });    it('test 2', function() {     expect(index).toBe(2);     index++;   });    it('test 3', function() {     expect(index).toBe(3);     index++;   });    it('test 4', function() {     expect(index).toBe(4);     index++;   });    it('test 5', function() {     expect(index).toBe(5);     index++;   });    it('test 6', function() {     expect(index).toBe(6);     index++;   });    it('test 7', function() {     expect(index).toBe(7);     index++;   });    it('test 8', function() {     expect(index).toBe(8);     index++;   });    it('test 9', function() {     expect(index).toBe(9);     index++;   });    it('test 10', function() {     expect(index).toBe(10);     index++;   });    // it('test 11', function() {   //   expect(index).toBe(11);   //   index++;   // });  }); 

thanks to @PWKad for pointing out this happens when there are more than 10 tests.

Answer 1

Yes, Jasmine executes the specs (it) in order. There was an issue from 2.3.0 to 2.3.3 with more than 10 specs. I hit the same issue in 2.3.3, the issue is fixed in 2.3.4.

I just used 2.3.4 in place of 2.3.3 and my 15 tests finally passed.
