v4.6.0

Compare Source

• feat: time based sharding by @​nunomaduro in #​1671

For better shard balance, Pest can distribute tests based on their actual execution time using the --update-shards option. This ensures each shard takes roughly the same wall-clock time, minimizing how long your slowest CI job runs.

Step 1: Generate the timing data by running your full test suite with --update-shards:

./vendor/bin/pest --update-shards

This runs all tests and records each test class's duration into tests/.pest/shards.json. You can also combine it with --parallel to speed things up:

./vendor/bin/pest --parallel --update-shards

Step 2: Commit tests/.pest/shards.json to your repository. This file is human-readable and looks like this:

{
"timings": {
"Tests\\Feature\\Payments\\StripeCheckoutTest": 1.608,
"Tests\\Feature\\Reports\\SalesReportTest": 2.105,
"Tests\\Unit\\Models\\UserTest": 0.050
},
"checksum": "...",
"updated_at": "2026-04-14T10:30:00+00:00"
}

Step 3: When you run --shard and tests/.pest/shards.json exists, Pest automatically uses time-balanced distribution:

./vendor/bin/pest --shard=1/5

The output will indicate that time-balanced sharding is active:

Shard: 1 of 5 — 12 files ran, out of 50 (time-balanced).
