Remote Runner: Using a custom runnner
There are a number of scenarios where it may be desirable to start a runner, perform some tasks and stop the runner, e.g. running a large test suite and allowing changes to the main image while the tests are running.
A custom runner may be started with:
workerRunner := GtRemoteRunner new. workerRunner managerStartupAndShutdown: GtRrLocalManagerStartupAndShutdown new; startLogging. workerRunner start.
Setting the custom manager (GtRrLocalManagerStartupAndShutdown
) means that code changes are not propagated to the workers while the tests are being run.
To stop the runner:
workerRunner stop.
