| <p>Non-negative integer less than or equal to 50; default is <code>-1</code></p> |
| |
| <p>Specifies the number of parallel shards |
| to use to run the test.</p> |
| |
| <p>If set, this value will override any heuristics used to determine the number of |
| parallel shards with which to run the test. Note that for some test |
| rules, this parameter may be required to enable sharding |
| in the first place. Also see <code>--test_sharding_strategy</code>.</p> |
| |
| <p>If test sharding is enabled, the environment variable <code> |
| <a href="${link test-encyclopedia#initial-conditions}">TEST_TOTAL_SHARDS</a> |
| </code> will be set to this value when spawning the test.</p> |
| |
| <p>Sharding requires the test runner to support the test sharding protocol. |
| If it does not, then it will most likely run every test in every shard, which |
| is not what you want.</p> |
| |
| <p>See |
| <a href="${link test-encyclopedia#test-sharding}">Test Sharding</a> |
| in the Test Encyclopedia for details on sharding.</p> |
