Pabot executes all tests even only few tests are defined in ordering file

[CharlieScene (Charlie)]

Hi,

First thing is that the argument is --processes and not --process. It should solve you starting issue.

Then about the suites ordering file, you have to take care of the file content, especially:

• Suites case naming
• Suites structure in the file depending of where you run your pabot/robot command

See this topic, and the related one mentioned in it:

How to run cases from specific folders

Hi! I have next FOLDER structure: Preconditions Folder 2 Folder 3 Negative Cases I want to run cases in “Preconditions” first, and cases from “Negative Cases” at the end. I’ve created suite-order.txt It contains: –suite “Preconditions/” #WAIT –suite “Negative Cases/” But when I try command: pabot --ordering suite-order.txt --processes 8 . Pabot start to execute all cases not in order from suite-order.txt What is the problem?

If the file is not set properly and read, all tests will be executed as you encounter.
