Hello,

Long story short. I posted this issue 
https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/35495 earlier which explains things 
pretty well what is the problem.

Issue is I've been using minitest-hooks gem to get before_all() and 
after_all() methods to test classes to setup database before setup() and 
each test class. Currently this feature is broken with parallel testing 
because Active Support issues one test method at the time to the forked 
processes. Tests are not grouped by their test class and each process get 
to execute tests from same class. This works with just setup() method, but 
not with before_all() and after_all() methods. And currently tests are not 
even runnable with parallel testing on which was how this issue began but 
now it seems to turn something else.

So I was thinking is it possible to change parallel testing behavior so 
that one process executes one test class and all it's test methods? This 
way before_all() and after_all() kind implementation will work just fine. 
This is also how Python Django framework implements parallel testing 
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/ref/django-admin/#cmdoption-test-parallel.
 
I think this is because Python unit test library has before_all() and 
after_all() like feature built in. What community thinks about this? Could 
this be implemented this way? If not then there should be some information 
somewhere that these kind of minitest plugins doesn't work with parallel 
testing.
