This adds support for identifying which worker is running a test file when tests execute concurrently, similar to JEST_WORKER_ID in Jest, VITEST_POOL_ID in Vitest, and MOCHA_WORKER_ID in Mocha. When running with --test-isolation=process (default), each test file runs in a separate child process and receives a unique worker ID from 1 to N. When running with --test-isolation=none, all tests run in the same process and the worker ID is always 1. This enables users to allocate separate resources (databases, ports, etc.) for each test worker to avoid conflicts during concurrent execution. Changes: - Add WorkerIdPool class to manage worker ID allocation and reuse - Set NODE_TEST_WORKER_ID environment variable for child processes - Add context.workerId getter to TestContext class - Add tests for worker ID functionality - Add documentation for context.workerId Fixes: https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/55842 PR-URL: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/61394 Reviewed-By: Matteo Collina <matteo.collina@gmail.com> Reviewed-By: Pietro Marchini <pietro.marchini94@gmail.com> Reviewed-By: Jacob Smith <jacob@frende.me>

Tests for networking related modules may also be present in other directories, but those tests do not make outbound connections. ↩︎
-
All tests inside of this directory are expected to fail. If a test doesn't fail on certain platforms, those should be skipped via
known_issues.status. ↩︎ -
The tests are for the logic in
lib/internal/main/prof_process.jsandlib/internal/v8_prof_polyfill.js. The tests confirm that the profile processor packages the correct set of scripts from V8 and introduces the correct platform specific logic. ↩︎
