After commenting the LambdaTest Maven Tunnel dependency, the parallel execution of tests on LambdaTest dashboard works fine.

        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.github.lambdatest</groupId>
            <artifactId>lambdatest-tunnel-binary</artifactId>
            <version>1.0.16</version>
        </dependency>

Debugging Steps:

• To execute all the tests in parallel threads with LambdaTest Maven Tunnel on LambdaTest grid.

Answer 1

maven tunnel dependency is below as per your pom details https://github.com/LambdaTest/lambdatest-maven-tunnel

this is using testng as dependency.

   <dependency>
        <groupId>org.testng</groupId>
        <artifactId>testng</artifactId>
        <version>7.7.1</version>
        <scope>compile</scope>
   </dependency>

It could give you some issues when running with surefire. try with TestNG Exclusion as below. It should work. It is always the better idea to use latest version.

        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.github.lambdatest</groupId>
            <artifactId>lambdatest-tunnel-binary</artifactId>
            <version>1.0.16</version>
            <exclusions>
                <exclusion>
                <groupId>org.testng</groupId>
                <artifactId>testng</artifactId>
                </exclusion>
            </exclusions>
        </dependency>
