3 years ago The variable files in robot framework follow the rules here https://robotframework.org/robotframework/latest/RobotFrameworkUserGuide.html#resource-and-variable-files
If you want to try testing, use the absolute path and it should work
Describe the bug I user variable files in my project to separate environments data and then pass it as arguments to the runner.
My command looks like this :
docker run \ -v $TEST_PATH/Reports:/opt/robotframework/reports:Z \ -v $TEST_PATH:/opt/robotframework/tests:Z \ -e BROWSER=firefox \ -e ROBOT_OPTIONS="--variablefile Config/dev-data.py" \ -e ROBOT_OPTIONS="--include myTag" \ ppodgorsek/robot-framework:latest
I see the the option specifying the tag is being taken into account and working as expected but then the tests starts and fails immediately, complaining about the variables not found. These variables comes from the variable file
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: Add a variable file under a folder which is at the same level with the tests folder Include a variable that you call in your test Run the test againt the docker image using the option --variablefile
Expected behavior Variables in variablefille should be reconized
Robot template Any Robot template which could help reproduce the issue.
