split-test splits tests into multiple groups based on timing data to run tests in parallel.
Download binary from GitHub releases page:
https://github.com/mtsmfm/split-test/releases
split-test command outputs test groups to stdout depends on its executing time.
Let's say we have three test files spec/a_spec.rb, spec/b_spec.rb, spec/c_spec.rb and the following test report report/report.xml.
<testsuites>
<testsuite classname="all" name="all" time="18.0">
<testcase classname="a" name="a" file="./spec/a_spec.rb" time="5.0"></testcase>
<testcase classname="b" name="b" file="./spec/b_spec.rb" time="10.0"></testcase>
<testcase classname="c" name="c" file="./spec/c_spec.rb" time="3.0"></testcase>
</testsuite>
</testsuites>If you run them in series, it'll take 18 seconds.
You can use split-test to split them into two groups and run in parallel.
For node 0:
$ split-test --junit-xml-report-dir report --node-index 0 --node-total 2 --tests-glob 'spec/**/*_spec.rb'
You'll get the following result on stdout:
/path/to/spec/a_spec.rb
/path/to/spec/c_spec.rb
For node 1:
$ split-test --junit-xml-report-dir . --node-index 1 --node-total 2 --tests-glob 'spec/**/*_spec.rb'
You'll get:
/path/to/spec/b_spec.rb
Please be sure to increment --node-index arg.
You can use --debug option to make sure how it's grouped:
$ split-test --junit-xml-report-dir . --node-index 1 --node-total 2 --tests-glob 'spec/**/*_spec.rb' --debug

split-test is inspired by circleci tests split command.
split-test assumes test report has additional attribute file or filepath.
