Run tests in parallel

[tokunbo]

Hello,

I have a fork that implements parallelism for behave. I would have submitted a pull-request, but my modifications break a few of the current options. Are there any plans to implement parallelism in the main branch? Have any opinions on my behave-parallel fork?

Thanks,

This would be interesting (and I will look into the changes and extension in your repository, but I probably will need some time).

QUICK FEEDBACK:
After looking at your README you apply parallelism at the scenario level.
This would at least break some of the feature files that I provided under issue.features/ directory. This is normally the case when I (mis-)use a Scenario for "Feature Test Setup" (like in "issue0111.feature") instead of using a Background. Therefore, the test writer probably needs a mechanism/control to mark a feature/scenario as safe for running in parallel or disabling parallelism (for example via a well-known tag: @not_parallel).

In addition, it would be nice if a user could decide if parallelism occurs at the Scenario or Feature level.

Awesome. I will work on adding those 2 features.

• Allow choosing parallelism on feature-level or scenario-level
• @notparallel tag to disable parallelism.

However, what does it mean when there are 10 scenarios, but only one has the @notparallel flag? Does it mean that scenario must go first/last? Or would the @notparallel tag only be valid on a feature element?

LATE EDIT: ....well, I'll just assume @notparallel is a feature only flag because I can't imagine what it would mean for an individual scenario. I'll close this issue now. Thanks for the input. 👍

Features added.
