Hi i'm trying to run specific specs in order by the YAML file in the pipeline This is part of my YAML file that i'm trying to executed:

yml
stages:
  - test
test:
  image: cypress/browsers:node16.17.0-chrome106
  parallel:
    matrix:
      - SUITES: "suite1.spec.js, suite2.specjs, suite3.spec.js"

the CI Lint validator says is correct but cypress returns an error. Anyone know about this error?

Not sure which CI Provider you're using, but can you try removing the quotations?

if you have multiple values it should be inside square brackets. https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-jobs/using-a-matrix-for-your-jobs I would also guess without -. So

SUITES: [suite1.spec.js, suite2.specjs, suite3.spec.js]

This executes all test suites in parallel i need 2 prallel execution with about 20 test suites in each, because my tests collude with each other and i cannot afford them running next to each other

then make 2 suites

yml
stages:
  - test
test_job_1:
  image: cypress/browsers:node16.17.0-chrome106
  parallel:
    matrix:
      - TAB: suite1.spec.js, suite2.specjs, suite3.spec.js
  stage: test
  timeout: 3h
  only:
    - schedules
  variables:
    GIT_SUBMODULE_STRATEGY: normal
  script:
    - npm ci
    - npx cypress run $BROWSER $CYPRESS_RUN --ci-build-id $CI_PIPELINE_ID --group $TAB --spec "cypress/e2e/${TAB}"
test_job_2:
  image: cypress/browsers:node16.17.0-chrome106
  parallel:
    matrix:
      - TAB: suite4.spec.js, suite5.specjs, suite6.spec.js
  stage: test
  timeout: 3h
  only:
    - schedules
  variables:
    GIT_SUBMODULE_STRATEGY: normal
  script:
    - npm ci
    - npx cypress run $BROWSER $CYPRESS_RUN --ci-build-id $CI_PIPELINE_ID --group $TAB --spec "cypress/e2e/${TAB}"

This yml file so far creates 2 jobs, but only executes the first suite and then ends 🤔

This yml file so far creates 2 jobs, but only executes the first suite and then ends :thinking:

If it ends after suite1.spec.js Im guessing you have test files imported there and you have an error in before or after. Then it will skip everything else

Alright i managed to do whhat i wanted, here is an example what i did in the yml:

yml
stages:
  - test
test:
  image: cypress/browsers:node16.17.0-chrome106
  parallel:
    matrix:
      - TAB: [
        "suite1.spec.js, suite2.specjs, suite3.spec.js",
        "suite4.spec.js, suite5.specjs, suite6.spec.js"
      ]
  stage: test
  only:
    - schedules
  variables:
    GIT_SUBMODULE_STRATEGY: normal
  script:
    - npm ci
    - npx cypress run --parallel --ci-build-id $CI_PIPELINE_ID --group $TAB --spec $TAB

This creates 2 parallel executed jobs that each runs the specs in order. Saves time, creates order and nonetheless makes reporting better

yeah that should work
