Not enough information.

Create a sample block of code, with the similar steps you have, without any private info.

Hi Natarajan,

invalid argument: File not found

This is probably a clue to what the problem is, I would guess it’s one of these that causing that error

${FIRST_FILE_PATH} ${EXECDIR}/…/resources/json/GUI/config-file.json
${SECOND_FILE_PATH} ${EXECDIR}/…/resources/json/GUI/schema.json

The first thing you can do is on the line before SeleniumLibrary.Choose file add a line that does Log ${FIRST_FILE_PATH} and one that does Log ${SECOND_FILE_PATH}

Now you can see what these got evaluated to.

My initial guess is you wanted ${CURDIR} not ${EXECDIR}, see Built-in variables for what the difference is.

You didn’t mention what OS you were running on when it was working? but not sure if that matters? you are using Ubuntu now and the path separators are correct for Ubuntu.

you said

Is this also how you executed the test on the other machine when the test was working?

  • if no, what were you doing differently on that machine?
  • is test.sh in the same folder as upload.robot and the resources folder?
  • is there a cd command in test.sh that changes to a different directory before running upload.robot?

Hopefully the suggestion and questions here will help you find your issue,

Dave.
