Behat Parallel
==============

[](#behat-parallel)

[![Parallel](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/bd32bcb709dae6e81f92595040c5dc99b5cb1c5171961427a5cecce7b252a489/687474703a2f2f73747265616d312e676966736f75702e636f6d2f76696577362f323431383931372f706172616c6c656c2d7061726b2d6c696b652d612d626f73732d6f2e676966)](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/bd32bcb709dae6e81f92595040c5dc99b5cb1c5171961427a5cecce7b252a489/687474703a2f2f73747265616d312e676966736f75702e636f6d2f76696577362f323431383931372f706172616c6c656c2d7061726b2d6c696b652d612d626f73732d6f2e676966)

**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](https://packagist.org/packages/adlawson/behat-parallel).

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

### Command line

[](#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

[](#credits)

This project was inspired by [Linus Norton's](https://github.com/linusnorton) [grunt-parallel-behat](https://github.com/linusnorton/grunt-parallel-behat) but it can be used in projects without Grunt.

### Contributing

[](#contributing)

I accept contributions to the source via Pull Request. I'm pretty pedantic about git practices, coding style and naming conventions, so don't be offended if I ask you to ammend your commits.

```
$ make install
$ make tests
```

If you have [Vagrant](http://vagrantup.com) installed, you can build our dev environment to assist development. The repository will be mounted in `/srv`.

```
$ vagrant up
$ vagrant ssh

Welcome to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.2.0-23-generic x86_64)
$ cd /srv
```
