Currently I am on #IP1 but before solving this challenge I refactored my code. I wanted to run cases for #MG5. I referred to this [Codecrafters test --previous is now available!](https://forum.codecrafters.io/t/codecrafters-test-previous-is-now-available/793) and tried running the below command but was not able to get any results, please let me know where am I going wrong. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex003/uploads/codecrafters/original/2X/0/0ac721d0468b75e8a0773cd05ecb7cee28066cd1.png) ---

Can you try following the instructions here please? [How do I install the CLI? - CodeCrafters](https://docs.codecrafters.io/cli/installation) Doesn’t look like the CLI is installed on your machine. ---

Hi @rohitpaulk thanks a lot for your help. I was able to run cases but there is one doubt. This command **`codecrafters test --previous`** is also running cases for the current challenge as well. One thing which I have understood is that when we write **`git push origin master`** that time test cases run from the current challenge to the first challenge. But when we do **`codecrafters test --previous`** that time it runs from first test case to the current test case. Is the testing of current test case expected? ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex003/uploads/codecrafters/original/2X/a/a8f93d0fdf336b90979d5252dff148ea9d2b32bb.png) ---

Hey @kaffikoda Yes, that’s expected! `codecrafters test --previous` runs all stages **from the first up to and including your current stage** to ensure everything still works as you progress. If you want the same order as `git push`, simply run `codecrafters test`. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex003/uploads/codecrafters/original/2X/1/143a1ce30f6aa83703e122cb39cba6d35465b519.png) ---
