Description

Due to slowness nature of selenium test we would like to run such tests in parallel, moreover, we also would like to avoid thread-safety issues, so our option is to take advantage of  forkCount=N and reuseForks=false instead of using built-in testng capabilities. Unfortunately, when using following maven configuration:

<forkCount>2</forkCount>
<reuseForks>false</reuseForks>
<suiteXmlFiles>
    <suiteXmlFile>Suite_1.xml</suiteXmlFile>
    <suiteXmlFile>Suite_2.xml</suiteXmlFile>
</suiteXmlFiles>

it does not work like expected, i.e.:

• ForkStarter#runSuitesForkPerTestSet correctly spawns multiple JVMs and passes individual testng suite to ForkStarter#fork
• TestNGProvider#invoke fails to cover the case that forkTestSet could be a file and runs all testng suites instead of individual one.
