Is it possible to break out rspec tests and run them in parallel in Appveyor. I'd love to just run different rake tasks and break out my rspec tests withing the rake tasks. The examples are all Visual Studio, which leads me to believe the categories functionality won't work for a Ruby project. Any chance I'm wrong?

    Hi Tim,

    I assume that you are asking about AppVeyor's parallel testing. Note that this is basically build matrix, just suited to tests. You can use environment-variables based approach, combined with build script.

    P.S. Test do not actually run in parallel on the same VM, but separate build processes on separate VMs are triggered. Though this consumes concurrent build jobs, it eliminates concurrency issues common to the parallel test execution.

    Let us know if this helps.

    Ilya.
