If the last section fails, the test is re-run once more

[nikola-benes]

Description

It seems that if the last SECTION inside a TEST_CASE fails (i.e. contains a false assertion), the TEST_CASE is run once more, this time bypassing all the sections. Is this expected behaviour?

Steps to reproduce

TEST_CASE("X") {
    // this part is executed twice
    SECTION("A") {
        REQUIRE(false);
    }
    // this part is executed once
}

Extra information

• Catch version: v2.4.0
• Operating System: Arch Linux
• Compiler+version: clang-6.0 with libstdc++

Unfortunately, yes. The reason is that Catch/2 is discovering sections as it runs them. If the last section fails it doesn't know if there are any more after it - so needs to run again to see.

Yeah, this is not really possible to fix.
