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 ***

@{_tmp}
... browserName: ${browserName},
... platform: ${platform},
... version: ${version},
... name: ${SUITE_NAME},
... build: Python-Robot-Selenium-VDC

*Here is the file txt

[awasall]

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.

[awasall]

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

[awasall]

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?

[awasall]

When I do ${PWD} only, It will not be able to make a choice on a test file so it will run all the tests that are in recipe and preprod as well

my pipeline is like that

`pipeline {
agent {
      label 'test-autotion'
  }
  parameters{
choice(name: 'ENVIRONMENT', choices: ['rec', 'preprod'], description: 'Pick one environnement')
choice(name: 'BROWSER', choices: ['chrome_config', 'firefox_config', 'ie_config'], description: 'Pick one Browser')
choice(name: 'Tests', choices: ['Tests_Preprod', 'Tests_Recette'], description: 'Pick one tests')




}
    stages {
         stage('intialize') {
              steps {
                sh 'echo "PATH= ${PATH}"'
              }
            }
        stage('Execute Tests') {
            steps{
                  sh 'docker run --rm -u root --shm-size=1g -v ${PWD}/reports:/opt/robotframework/reports:Z -v ${PWD}/${Tests}:/opt/robotframework/tests:Z -e ROBOT_THREADS=4 -e PABOT_OPTIONS="--argumentfile /opt/robotframework/tests/${BROWSER}.txt"  -e ENVIRONMENT=${ENVIRONMENT} -e ROBOT_OPTIONS="--include  TA_01" robot-framework:'
            }
        }`

[ppodgorsek]

The ${PWD} syntax is for Windows. As you're running it in a shell script, please try using `pwd` instead.

[awasall]

I did it but I have the same error

[awasall]

Can you help me @UltimateDogg and @ppodgorsek

[awasall]

I think the problem arises when I add the test folder on 'pwd' the volume mount does not take the other folders and files

[ppodgorsek]

The No such file or directory errors are usually due to:

• a wrong path,
• wrong file permissions.

If the former is good, I'd try checking the latter by making sure:

• read (r) permissions are granted on those files for user/group/other,
• traversal (x) permissions are granted on the folders for user/group/other.

PS: Next time you comment on a closed ticket, could you reopen it at the same time please? If you can't reopen it, it would probably be best to simply open a new ticket. It makes it much easier to track, otherwise it gets lost.

[awasall]

Sorry I didn't have the possibility to reopen it

[awasall]

if I put pwdonly without adding the pwd / Tests_Recette I will have no problem with no such file or direcrory on the other hand if I add it I have problems but at the level of the chrome config.txt file

[ppodgorsek]

Is chrome_config.txt inside the Tests_Recette/ folder, or at the same level?

[awasall]

at the same level

[ppodgorsek]

Well, I guess you have your answer in that case! :)
You're mounting Tests_Recette/, the chrome_config.txt file therefore cannot be found within it.

I'd suggest keeping your `pwd`/Tests_Recette/ mount and also mounting chrome_config.txt separately.

[awasall]

I tried to put it in but when I do it I have other concerns i.e. it does not see the files which are in resources but still I test what you just told me

[awasall]

I did it but it doesn't see the files that are in resources

[ ERROR ] Error in file '/opt/robotframework/tests/Alertes.robot' on line 2: Resource file '../Resources/common.robot' does not exist.
[ ERROR ] Error in file '/opt/robotframework/tests/Alertes.robot' on line 3: Resource file '../Resources/AlertesKeyword.robot' does not exist.

[ppodgorsek]

It's exactly the same problem. You need to remember what Docker has access to.
In that case, ../Resources/ means /opt/robotframework/Resources/ in the container, which does not exist.

[awasall]

I didn't have this problem before

[ppodgorsek]

I'm sorry to say but, with the screenshot you sent, it is simply impossible that you had access to Resources when mounting Tests_Recette, no matter how hard you try, that's not how Docker works.

[awasall]

OKAY

[awasall]

@ppodgorsek I fixed the problems with these directories but another one appears as

`==============================================================================

[ppodgorsek]

This issue seems related to your tests.
