The test assumed that the shuffled order of the list would be X because it assumed no other calls to random took place. Maybe some recent changes added a call to `random`, but the test fails on my ubuntu machine when `make eunit` is run. This change calls `seed` in the test to ensure that "determinsitic random" behaviour occurs for the test.

As discussed, if you method is list_shuffle, the only valid test would be to prove it is correctly shuffle each time. This test try to prove the opposite. I would remove this test. If you absolutly need a test, run twice the list_shuffle call with the same In and make sure that Out1 and Out2 are different.

Yeah, I think since running it twice is only probably going to pass. It's a bad test. To copy Goldblum in JP: I was so preoccupied with whether or not I could fix it, I didn’t stop to think if I should. |
