Make sure your CircleCI parallel test runners all finish at the same time
Testqueue is a utility to help split work amongst parallel test runners on CircleCI. It does this by creating a simple SQS queue which the test runners consume.
# npm
npm install --save-dev testqueue
# yarn
yarn add -D testqueue
Testqueue is simple to use. A couple quick things to note:
import TestQueue from 'testqueue';
const queue = new TestQueue({
testDir: 'test',
async testRunner(file) {/* run the test file */},
onFinish() {/* Clean up or something */},
});
queue
.start()
.then(() => console.log('Yay!'));
