Multi Node testing Setup

[linux-root]

Hi everyone,

Based on this tutorial, it seems that we only need to use .enablePlugins(MultiJvmPlugin). However, in this line, the MultiNodeScalaTest SBT plugin is enabled.

Q: Is MultiNodeScalaTest meant to be used only for internal subprojects of the Pekko project? Could someone explain the reasoning behind this?

My concern is that there are quite a few customizations defined in MultiNodeScalaTest. I'm afraid that my multi-node tests using MultiJvmPlugin and ScalaTest might not work properly.

MultiNodeScalaTest is not public but you are free to copy/paste it into your own build if you think is useful.
There are some users of pekko-multi-node-testkit.
https://github.com/search?q=pekko-multi-node-testkit&type=code
Some are git clones of the main pekko repos but there are some independent projects too.
It should be feasible to test with just the MultiJvmPlugin and pekko-multi-node-testkit but feel free to copy any no-public code into your project if you feel it adds value for you.
