Today I learned about the cake rule doc:test which builds the browser tests from the main tests (similar to build:browser but for the tests). This PR ensures that those tests are up-to-date before CI can succeed, similar to the other build operations we do.

As a side note, I find the name doc:test rather confusing, as it's about building tests not documenting or running them. But that's less important.

I think you also need to update the output in order to get this PR’s CI to pass. cake release is the one that updates everything.

testsInScriptBlocks = ->
output = ''
for filename in fs.readdirSync testsSourceFolder
for filename in fs.readdirSync(testsSourceFolder).sort()

It turns out the issue wasn't that the output wasn't updated, it's that the order that the tests were combined was inconsistent, dependent on the filesystem. Sorting the directory seems to produce the original results; tests now pass. I'm guessing that some file systems automatically sort listdir, but Windows didn't, and apparently CI (ubuntu I think?) didn't.

Why does it matter? Do some tests depend on others?

The cake doc:test script concatenates a bunch of files into one file. If the file order is inconsistent, so are the results. The result needs to be consistent for CI to check that it was built properly. (It will also make for smaller diffs, if they get built on a nonalphabetical file system.)
