Consider using the race detector

[mholt]

Let's look into supporting the race detector tool. It would be especially nice if the GUI would raise a flag if there's a race condition. It could be optional (we have an options drop-down panel to facilitate that).

Interesting idea, anyone is welcome to tackle this.

I think this would be great in that tool you've been thinking of creating @mholt...

This is really handy feature in ginkgo. Ginkgo also allows you to randomize tests which is handy to make sure you aren't relying on order in your tests.

[mdwhatcott]

@vrecan - agreed, running tests in random order is an awesome feature. I had hopes for doing this early on (#4) but never made it happen. Having said that, I would postulate that even randomizing the tests won't guarantee finding all race conditions. They are both meaningful, independent features.

I hate to resurrect an old issue, but does this mean that the race detector will not be supported in the UI or is that still planned?

+1 for supporting race detector in Web UI or in cmd interface (like -cover option).
