README

Version: 0.1.0

Run your behat tests in parallel processes. The shell script simply wraps find to iterate through the test directory to get the tests, and xargs to run each test in a separate process. You can still make use of all standard Behat command line arguments.

It can be installed in whichever way you prefer, but I recommend Composer.

{
    "require": {
        "adlawson/behat-parallel": "~0.1.0"
    }
}

Command line

$ behat-parallel -h

    Usage: behat-parallel [options] -- [behat options]

    Options:

        -b, --bin        Behat binary (default: ./vendor/bin/behat)
        -f, --features   Path to the features to run (default ./features/*.feature)
        -h, --help       This help prompt
        -p, --processes  Maximum parallel processes (default: 4)

    Example:

        behat-parallel --features=/path/to/features/**/*.feature -- --tags='@javascript'

Credits

This project was inspired by Linus Norton's grunt-parallel-behat but it can be used in projects without Grunt.
