Summary
Problem
The wrapper tests import multiple heavy external packages (PETSc, MINPACK, NLsolve, SIAMFANLEquations, SpeedMapping, FixedPointAcceleration, FastLevenbergMarquardt, LeastSquaresOptim) that can have issues with parallel initialization and resource contention when multiple test workers try to load and initialize them simultaneously.
Solution
Force sequential execution (nworkers=0) for wrapper tests specifically:
test/runtests.jl
to detect when GROUP=="wrappers" and set RETESTITEMS_NWORKERS=0Increased retry count from 3 to 5 for tests involving PETSc/MINPACK:
