Protractor parallel test using selenium grid

[frieman]

Hi all,

I have read the #111 Post (Closed), where the last question raised was very relevant:
"@glepretre ... I want to split up my tests across several machines so that I can get a quicker result. multiCapabilities allows you to do that across browsers, but I want to split up my tests even if I'm just using one browser."

Does anyone knows if there was any progress in that direction?

Many thanks,
Omer

Do something like this:

specs: [
    './*_spec.js'
],
splitTestsBetweenCapabilities: true,
  multiCapabilities: [{
    'browserName': chrome,
    count: 10
}],

note however, that keyword 'count' might be replaced with the keyword 'maxInstances' soon. Also, this feature is in master right now and not yet released.

I have tried this, but i saw it doesn't run in parallel but run all the tests on the same browser ten times,

You need this flag:

splitTestsBetweenCapabilities: true,

Also, like I said, this feature isn't released yet. You need to grab it from master if you want it now, or you can wait for the next release.
