Description

As per https://github.com/nodejs/node-api-cts/pull/11#discussion_r2604336778, we could either:

  • Disable process isolation (passing --test-isolation=none)
  • Investigate if the default process isolation suffice in providing the isolation we need and we could import the test files instead of spawning a child process manually.

Compare disabling isolation with importing test files under the default model; done means selecting and implementing an execution model that provides the required isolation.
