Default reporter emits `prepare` longer than `Duration` when prepare takes longer than 1s about vitest HOT 3 CLOSED

It's absolutely normal to have times after duration be higher than duration since they are aggregated across all test file which are loaded in parallel.

What is not normal is how high the number is 🤔

After investigation, I didn't find anything unexpected. When running a single test, prepare time is faster than if running multiple in parallel, and you have a lot of files without a test inside, so we basically run a lot of files for nothing which inflates the number.

Also, looking at your project I would recommend disabling isolation with --no-isolate to drastically speed up your tests (prepare state would be very minimal since we only need to run it once and can cache it for every test)

@sheremet-va, thanks for looking into the "issue" and explaining how it works internally. I'll try the option you mentioned. ;)

Have a great week!

Edit

The test duration was drastically reduced. Thank you!
