Ability to run parallel_cucumber using profile only

[vveliev]

Hey i'm trying to run simple profile using parallel test

exec parallel_cucumber -o '--profile smoke'
>>> Pass files or folders to run

cucumber.yml:

smoke: >
  --color -f pretty -t @smoke
  features/test1.feature
  features/regression/file2.feature
  features/regression/file3.feature
  features/regression/file4.feature
  features/regression/file5.feature

I would like to use profile only, and avoid passing files/folders , as it does not work as expected when running as :

exec parallel_cucumber -o '--profile smoke' features/

I believe that you need a -- before the directory that you want to run in parallel. Try exec parallel_cucumber -o '--profile smoke' -- features/ instead.

[vveliev]

@enkessler yes , but then it's ignoring file list in the profile , and running all files that much the profile tags from feature/ folder

[enkessler]

Cucumber does not allow (at least not the in Ruby version) file locations to be specified both in a profile and passed directly to the command. It's one or the other.

[vveliev]

i'm not arguing about that .....

my cucumber command:

bundler exec cucumber -p smoke

it has list of files with in the profile rather then folder ...

[grosser]

something silly like parallel_cucumber $(cat smoke) ?

[vveliev]

I don't think creating files for each profile is a good solution ........
Why not have parallel cucumber get files from profiles and don't have a requirement to have folder/path to be required to run cucumber in parallel

[grosser]

what does a profile look like ? ... is it a list of files or some custom config ?
if it's custom config then maybe add a --profile flag to parallel_cucumber that reads it and extracts the files it needs to run ?

[vveliev]

List of files in standard cucumber.yml file, example on my first post.

[grosser]

then add a --profile option to read that :)
... make sure it blows up with a nice error message when used outside of cucumber

this will do ?! #576

[grosser]

looks about right! :D

I think correct execution should be:
exec parallel_cucumber -n 4 -o '-p smoke'
In which n means the number of CPUs processes to use
