problem with Parallelization Options

[awasall]

Hello,
I'm having trouble with the docker command for the parallelize option.
I configured the browser, the platform and a specific version in ac. by launching the command I passed it -e PABOT_OPTIONS = "- argumentfile chrome_config.txt"

*here is the command to run
docker run --rm -u root --shm-size=1g -v ${PWD}/reports:/opt/robotframework/reports:Z -v ${PWD}:/opt/robotframework/tests:Z -e PABOT_OPTIONS="--argumentfile chrome_config.txt" sonatel_rbfwk:latest

here is the file resource.robot
`** Settings ***
Library SeleniumLibrary
@{_tmp}
... browserName: ${browserName},
... platform: ${platform},
... version: ${version},
... name: ${SUITE_NAME},
... build: Python-Robot-Selenium-VDC

this is the error 👍

[ ERROR ] Error in file '/opt/robotframework/tests/resource.robot': Setting variable '${browser}' failed: Variable '${browserName}' not found. [ ERROR ] Error in file '/opt/robotframework/tests/resource.robot': Setting variable '@{_tmp}' failed: Variable '${browserName}' not found.

since you are using the default ROBOT_THREADS of 1 you will not be actually using pabot or its options env. So you can either use ROBOT_OPTIONS instead of PABOT_OPTIONS (since you dont have any pabot specific things it doesnt matter), or set ROBOT_THREADS to > 1 and keep the same command.

If I need it because I have three txt files,
the first is chrome_config.txt

--variable browserName:chrome --variable platform:windows 10 --variable version:latest

the second: firefox_config.txt
--variable browserName:firefox --variable platform:OS X 10.14 --variable version:latest

the third: ie_config.txt
--variable browserName:internet explorer --variable platform:windows 10 --variable version:latest

I want to run these three configuration files at the same time i.e. parallelization I hope you can understand me

[awasall]

if I understand correctly le ROBOT_OPTIONS is to tag the test

[UltimateDogg]

something like this should work docker run --rm -u root --shm-size=1g -v ${PWD}/reports:/opt/robotframework/reports:Z -v ${PWD}:/opt/robotframework/tests:Z -e ROBOT_THREADS=4 -e PABOT_OPTIONS="--argumentfile1 chrome_config.txt --argumentfile2 firefox_config.txt --argumentfile3 ie_config.txt" ppodgorsek/robot-framework:latest

[awasall]

but locally without the use of docker everything is ok but with docker I have problems
I had done it but I have this error

[ ERROR ] Opening argument file 'chrome_config.txt' failed: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'chrome_config.txt'

[UltimateDogg]

well where in the docker container is the file? if its in the /opt/robotframework/tests folder do
docker run --rm -u root --shm-size=1g -v ${PWD}/reports:/opt/robotframework/reports:Z -v ${PWD}:/opt/robotframework/tests:Z -e ROBOT_THREADS=4 -e PABOT_OPTIONS="--argumentfile1 /opt/robotframework/tests/chrome_config.txt --argumentfile2 /opt/robotframework/tests/firefox_config.txt --argumentfile3 /opt/robotframework/tests/ie_config.txt" ppodgorsek/robot-framework:latest

[awasall]

It is the command that i run locally and and it works

pabot --argumentfile1 chrome_config.txt --argumentfile2 firefox_config.txt --argumentfi
le3 ie_config.txt Tests

[awasall]

thank you the last command line that you sent me helped me and it is working
Thanks

[UltimateDogg]

👍 glad it worked

Hello,
I have another problem with the parallelization

[awasall]

I have two test files, one for the recipe environment and the other for the preproduction environment and I want to run them as desired with parallel browsers but once I run the command I have an error No such file or directory

Here is the command line
docker run --rm -u root --shm-size=1g -v ${PWD}/reports:/opt/robotframework/reports:Z -v ${PWD}/Tests_Recette:/opt/robotframework/tests:Z -e ROBOT_THREADS=4 -e PABOT_OPTIONS="--argumentfile /opt/robotframework/tests/chrome_config.txt" -e ENVIRONMENT=rec -e ROBOT_OPTIONS="--include TA_01" robot-framework

[awasall]

The error is Opening argument file '/opt/robotframework/tests/chrome_config.txt' failed: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/opt/robotframework/tests/chrome_config.txt'

[ppodgorsek]

Are you sure ${PWD}/Tests_Recette is correctly replaced by its full path when mounted? Could you try replacing ${PWD} by the correct path and see if that works please?
