Description

Our business requires controlling Workers in multiple different environments for testing. These Worker-controlled environments may include mobile phones, Linux, MacOS, Windows, etc. We have mechanisms for automatically detecting and restarting these environments, but sometimes certain environments still cannot function properly. We hope to be able to exclude them and allocate test cases to Worker processes corresponding to normal environments.

Can we consider supporting?

Research direction

The issue does not name files, tests, or entry points. First clarify how a specific Worker should be excluded or restarted and how test allocation should behave across environments; done should include agreed acceptance criteria and coverage for the supported worker-control behavior.
