Is there any solution for this issue when multiple tests are run concurrently? For example:

In a monorepo where multiple packages use axe-core (or a dependent like jest-axe)
Within one repo / package where the same tests are run concurrently with different env vars or contexts

Ran into this same problem; in my case the issue was that I’d wrapped axe.run in an async function, but forgotten to call that function with await in 2+ instances, which then clashed when run together.

Commenting here in case others find this through Google like I did and happened to make the same mistake.
