Test Threads not starting with config transform

[Rahul Dixit]

Hi All,


When running SpecRun with multiple threads, I get the below error.
It occurs randomly one some threads and not on others.
Attached are the config files I am using.

Can anyone advise what is causing the issue and how to fix it please? Thanks.

Issue:

TechTalk.SpecRun.Framework.SpecRunException: At least one test thread aborted. -
