🤔 What's changed?
Adds native staggered startup for parallel Cucumber workers.
New configuration options:
--parallel-startup-mode=staggered--parallel-ramp-size=5--parallel-ramp-delay=1000In staggered mode, Cucumber starts an initial group of workers, begins executing scenarios as soon as a worker has completed its worker-level
BeforeAllhooks, and progressively starts further workers as capacity becomes available.The default
eagerstartup mode is unchanged.This includes:
⚡️ What's your motivation?
Large
--parallelvalues can create a significant worker startup spike before the first scenario begins. This is especially noticeable in CI environments.Staggered startup reduces time-to-first-scenario by allowing early workers to begin execution while the remaining worker pool is still being prepared.
🏷️ What kind of change is this?
♻️ Anything particular you want feedback on?
Feedback on the ramp semantics would be especially useful:
parallelRampSizecontrols the number of workers created initially.parallelRampDelaycontrols the minimum delay between workers created after the initial group.📋 Checklist:
