Description

For parallel testing is used next stack of technologies: java 8 (openjdk version "1.8.0_292", OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_292-b10), OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.292-b10, mixed mode)), Jenkins, Selenium, Selenide, Selenoid etc.

From time to time during execution I encounter different problem associated with maven surefire. I perform parallel testing using Jenkins and jenkins file:

 

stage('First suite'){
            parallel {
                stage('1 test'){
                }
                stage('2 test'){
                }
            }
}

but periodically got error and failed stage due to failed test. Fragment of trace with error:

As well I described my problem here in stackoverflow but with another trace (URL is attached).
