hello kotesters
I’ve trying to play around with parallelism but no matter what the tests are still running sequentially 😕
could someone provide a working example of how to run multiples tests in parallel?
thanks 🙂

[Tiago]

I ’ve already tried:

kotest.framework.parallelism=10
kotest.framework.spec.concurrent=10
kotest.framework.test.concurrent=10
kotest.framework.isolation.mode=InstancePerLeaf

test:

class SomeTest : ExpectSpec({
    expect("something") {
...
    }

    expect("another thing") {
...
    }
})

are you doing blocking operations inside the tests?

[Tiago]

after removing

kotest.framework.parallelism=10
kotest.framework.spec.concurrent=10
kotest.framework.test.concurrent=10
kotest.framework.isolation.mode=InstancePerLeaf

and using the configurations like:

init {
    threads = 20
    concurrency = 20
    isolationMode = InstancePerTest

    // tests ....
}

the tests are now running in parallel
but not the specs, they are still running in sequence

[Emil Kantis]

What if you re-add kotest.framework.spec.concurrent=10

[Tiago]

let me see

look like the problem is the IntelliJ plugin not updating the progress bar of concurrent specs

I placed the long lasting one first and could notice the logs from the other tests even that intellij says it is still running the first one
