Thanks for raising @x80486, I hadn't heard about the built-in `.env` support yet (https://nodejs.org/en/blog/release/v20.6.0#built-in-env-file-support for reference). However, to have an `envFile` or similar configuration key in Cucumber , we'd be...

Thanks for the detail! For this to work we have to find a way to have these user-authored hooks register on both the coordinator (parent) process and the worker processes....

@MiladSadinam thanks for raising, you'r right that it's currently not supported. `parallel` just uses multiple worker threads but on the same machine which for reasons you've noted has limitations. From...

Yep, that might be worth a try.
