Parsing '-d' failed: File or directory to execute does not exist

Extensions Pabot
1

Hello all!

When I run a robot script in parallel using pabot executing the script.py
Then all expected execution is completed
But the output files are created in the root project folder MyProject instead of MyProject/output

Trying to solve that, I tried to add the robot parameter “-d” as showed in the script_modified.py. However, the folder is not found even it existing.

Result with new script_modified.py :

The following are observed in the prompt

Yes. I know, this code is not clean. Reason 1) Im not a coding expert, 2) Im trying to debug this problem. :smiley:

Please… help me! :sweat_smile:

You should add the -d before the execution directory, like this:

subprocess.run(["pabot", "--testlevelsplit", "-d", log_directory, directorio_saida])
