doc: update test concurrency description / default value #46457

richiemccoll · 2023-02-01T08:24:23Z

This PR aligns the documentation for the test runner concurrency options. The description for context.test and run are now consistent with the test section as they both allow number or boolean for concurrency.

I've also updated:

the default value for context.test from 1 to false so that it's consistent with test concurrency default.
the default value for run from true to false so that it's consistent with the test/context.test defaults.

Other occurrences of concurrency default being documented:

node/doc/api/test.md

Lines 679 to 685 in 1ecc03e

    
           * `concurrency` {number|boolean} If a number is provided, 
        
             then that many files would run in parallel. 
        
             If truthy, it would run (number of cpu cores - 1) 
        
             files in parallel. 
        
             If falsy, it would only run one file at a time. 
        
             If unspecified, subtests inherit this value from their parent. 
        
             **Default:** `true`.

node/doc/api/test.md

Lines 1648 to 1650 in 1ecc03e

    
           * `concurrency` {number} The number of tests that can be run at the same time. 
        
             If unspecified, subtests inherit this value from their parent. 
        
             **Default:** `1`.

It'd be nice to make all of them be consistent w.r.t to truthy/true etc.

@aduh95 Thanks. The options.concurrency description and default values for test, context.text and run should be consistent now.

The default is actually neither 1 nor false for t.test, the default is to inherit from the parent, let's fix that.

This updates only the documentation, but no implementation. Was the documentation merely incorrect? (I'm pretty sure at least 1 of the changes does correct the doc to the actual behaviour).

If so, happy to switch to approve.

@JakobJingleheimer Yes, the documentation was incorrect regarding subtest options.concurrency. The other changes are small clarifications regarding os. availableParallelism - 1 and subtest default value.
