When are finalizedBy tasks after parallel execution of tests executed?

I’d like to kill the Firefox instances on the build server when all Selenium tests finished. The build.gradle file looks as follows (extract):

task stopFirefox(type: Exec) {
 commandLine "/usr/bin/killall", "-9", "firefox"
}
  task seleniumTest(type: Test) {
 maxParallelForks = 8
}
seleniumTest.finalizedBy stopFirefox

When is the task “stopFirefox” executed? a) After all 8 parallel running “Gradle Task Executors” terminated? b) When the first of the 8 “Gradle Task Executors” terminates?

I expect a) but suspect b). See the console log below:

com......MasterModeWebtest > testReplace PASSED
Gradle Test Executor 3 finished executing tests.
  com.....EmployeeWebtest > testCheckbox FAILED
    org.openqa.selenium.remote.UnreachableBrowserException: Error communicating with the remote browser. It may have died.

Gradle is started in parallel mode.

Hey,
the maxParallelForks = 8 is Test task internal meaning that ‘seleniumTest.finalizedBy stopFirefox’ causes stopFirefox to be executed after ALL test workers have finished.
