Declaring Multiple machines

Camden Brown_bbln7c

Is there not a way to declare how many machines get used for a step? I have setup parallel steps. However, I need a way to declare how many machines to use in that step so my integration tests can be split out among X machines not just running the entire step in parallel.

I see there is an option to do this in CircleCi. Is this not a planned feature?

Planned features are in Jira, a search there might reveal something. For what works in Pipeline parallel steps is to divide by the step index, starting at zero with the BITBUCKET_PARALLEL_STEP variable and the total number of steps BITBUCKET_PARALLEL_STEP_COUNT (more info about variables).

Depends a bit on the test-suite if you can divide into stable segments and join result artifacts if any afterwards.

The number of "machines" would be the number of parallel steps then.
