Behave parallel executions

[jcardenaspe]

When gonna be implemented a parallel execution feature?

Mmh, this is an open source project.
Therefore, if you need something, contribute to it (especially if you are in need of a feature).

The current tip of this Git repository provides an extension-point that allows you to provide your own test-runner.
Therefore, the easiest way is that YOU PROVIDE a parallel test runner implementation to the behave community and publish it as package on https://pypi.org .

If you have not enough "pain" to work on this and provide on your own (and figure out all the problems related to it), you need to wait until I have time to continue the work on my prototype. I have a pretty clear picture how the design should look like, but it is currently not really usable for the public (problems w/ bad behaving steps, shutdown or abortion of the test run and deadlocks related to the multiprocessing module).

OTHERWISE:
There are some behave-parallel implementations on Github.
But they seem to be outdated, meaning some Python2 / Python3 code cleanup was not performed yet (like with python-modernize). This means you cannot directly use it if you use Python3.

SIMILAR:

• The latest behave-parallel version on https://pypi.org is not installable (setup.py seems to be missing)
