rake aborted! Parallel::DeadWorker: Parallel::DeadWorker on failing Rspec tests

[neuzebeoneclass]

Cloning directly from https://github.com/browserstack/rspec-browserstack and updating only to use correct BrowserStack credentials, running these tests results in expected behaviour and all tests pass. However if I intentionally make the tests fails eg change
expect(@driver.title).to eql("BrowserStack - Google Search")
to something else like
expect(@driver.title).to eql("NOTBrowserStack - Google Search")
the test fails as expected but then returns the error

rake aborted!
Parallel::DeadWorker: Parallel::DeadWorker
preventing the processes from running any more tests.

idk why this happens ... also don't have the time to debug this atm, if you find any more insight or even a fix, please update!

@neuzebeoneclass ever figured out the issue? I'm having the same problem.

[jmaheshkumar]

I am also getting the same error

Parallel::DeadWorker (Parallel::DeadWorker):

fatal: No live threads left. Deadlock? 2 threads, 2 sleeps current

Anyone can help me to resolve this? Thanks in advance.....

@jmaheshkumar Were you able to solve the issue? I'm having the same issue.

Thanks.

Using browserstack as well. I found this error goes away by changing "in_processes" to "in_threads" in the Parallel.map section of the Rakefile. Not really a solution but good enough for my use case. Nothing else seems to work.

Edit: Nvm im still stuck. Threads cause other issues im running into -_-.

@zmcgugin That's what I did too.
