[Python-Dev] Parallel test execution on buildbot (original) (raw)

Hi,

Has anyone considered using regrtest's -j option in the buildbot configuration to speed up the test runs?

Perhaps some buildbots are doing other useful tasks, in addition to simply building Python. This should probably be a case by case setting. I don't know how easy it is to add specific options to a buildslave.

One small issue would be that, currently, when a buildbot hangs, you know which test it is hung in since it's the last one displayed. This isn't true with -j (but perhaps we can improve the runner to fix this).

Regards

Antoine.
