What is rspec_parallel

rspec_parallel is a ruby gem that allows to run rspec examples/tests in parallel.

1. Tests are distributed dynamically for each thread
2. Tests are executed alphabetically, rewrite RspecParallel.reorder_tests to change
3. Junit-format xml report is generated after each run
4. Re-run failures are supported
5. Integrate progressbar gem to show the execution progress

Dependencies

1. progressbar >= 0.11.0

2. Sample code:

require 'rspec_parallel'

options = {}
options[:thread_number] = 4 # default: 10
options[:env_list] = [] # you can pass different env vars to each thead
options[:filter] = {"tags" => "mysql,~slow", "pattern" => /(ruby|java)/} # filter tests by tags or regular expressions
options[:show_pending] = true # show all pending tests after the run

#             :filter => {}, :env_list => [], :show_pending => false, :rerun => false,
#             :single_report => false, :max_rerun_times => 10, :max_thread_number => 16,
#             :longevity_time => 0}.merge(options)
