From 1170b262613d8afe6dc6081d1072ce6180512bfb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Johan=20Bergstr=C3=B6m?= Date: Thu, 31 Dec 2015 17:32:42 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] test: inherit JOBS from environment In some virtualized environments the amount of available resources are misleading; for instance `multiprocessing.cpu_count()` on our current 4-core smartos vm's returns `48`. This is not a bug, merely how the vm host provides information about available hardware. Avoid running into issues by overriding `cpu_count()` with `JOBS`.
