How can we fetch parallel value from command line to JS file

[windyliu1118]

Currently, in my code, I need to run different logic based on parallel running or non-parallel running.
So when I run the command gauge run --env staging --tags "p1" --parallel -n=2 specs, how can I fetch the parallel running parameter from the command line, and then use it in Js file to determine which code to be executed?

The easiest way would be passing an extra environment variable when running tests in parallel. For example.

PARALLEL=true gauge run --env staging --tags "p1" --parallel -n=2 specs

You can then read this environment variable in your step implementation.

if(process.env.PARALLEL) {
 ...
}

Got it, thanks @zabil
