medium📝 Debug Q6 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Check parallel execution requirements
Cypress requires a linked Dashboard project and recording enabled to split tests across machines.Step 2: Identify cause of sequential execution
If recording is disabled or the project is not linked, tests run sequentially despite parallel flags.Final Answer:
The Cypress Dashboard project is not linked or recording is disabled -> Option BQuick Check:
Is Dashboard linking required for parallel runs? Yes [OK]
Quick Trick: Parallel needs Dashboard project linked and recording enabled [OK]
Common Mistakes:
- Blaming test syntax errors for lack of parallelism
- Assuming CPU cores alone enable parallel execution
- Thinking test file size affects parallel splitting
