----------------------------------------

I have a large rspec test suite. I found that if I call a Ractor, the Cover=
age results are strongly affected, i.e. almost all files appear to be uncov=
ered. This happens even if I only ever call a Ractor before the library or =
rspec are required.



Unfortunately, I was not able to build a simple repro yet.



I assume it is a timing thing and only affects larger suites, or it only ha=
ppens if there are multiple files, and maybe if the library lazily requires=
 its sub-modules?



However, I guess this should produce the same results when added to the spe=
c_helper.rb of other large suites:



```ruby

# Ractor.new { nil } # uncomment this to affect coverage results



require 'coverage'

Coverage.start



# require library, set up rspec etc.=20



RSpec.configuration.after(:suite) do

  # this number is greatly reduced and unstable when calling Ractor above

  p Coverage.result.values.sum { |arr| arr.sum(&:to_i) }

end

```



I had this problem in [this library](https://github.com/jaynetics/character=
_set/). The problem affects simplecov users as well, as described [here](ht=
tps://github.com/simplecov-ruby/simplecov/issues/1058).
