[@SerenityWithCucumber] Report Portal creates redundant launches for multi module project about serenity-reportportal-integration HOT 6 CLOSED

jUnit is configured to run tests in parallel using JVM forking.

So tests on each submodule run on a different JVMs. But for now integration controls RP communication client on one JVM level, so practically with your example several client created, as a result you got several launches in RP.

Potentially is it possible to avoid it with cross JVM communication, but efforts to do it is too high comparing to this use case rarity.

Hello,

Do you have any plans to fix the issue? We faced with the same problem recently.
As a workaround it is possible to set unique tag for each set of runs and merge them on full run completion using RP API.

Thanks.

@slavamarkovski
Your proposed workaround idea sounds interesting. I will investigate the ability to apply it.

@Invictum sorry for pushing but do you have any rough ETA for this issue?

@slavamarkovski

I made a small investigation and actually it is more complex than expected. It requires cross JVM communication even with merge approach.

As for estimates: It depends on my free time, but I will try to implement it in a few weeks.

Implemented. Will be available on 1.4.2+
