Hi,  
Is there a single command to re-run failed test cases from the original\_result\_output.xml files generated by following execution types:

1. Execution by tags:

> robot --report original\_result\_report.html --output original\_result\_output.xml -i \<test\_tags\> tests

_Rerun_: works fine

> robot --report report.html --output rerun\_output.xml -R original\_result\_output.xml tests

1. Execution by Robot file:

> robot --report original\_result\_report.html --output original\_result\_output.xml \<path\_to\_robot\_file\>

_Rerun_: Same command as for tags-execution doesn’t work

> robot --report report.html --output rerun\_output.xml -R original\_result\_output.xml tests

Error:

> '[ERROR] Suite ‘Tests’ contains no tests matching name \<test\_suite\_name.test\_case\_name, …\>

_Rerun_: providing path to the robot file from original execution makes it work

> robot --report report.html --output rerun\_output.xml -R original\_result\_output.xml \<path\_to\_robot\_file\>

1. Specific test cases:

> robot --report original\_result\_report.html --output original\_result\_output.xml --test \<test\_id\> \<path\_to\_robot\_file\>

_Rerun_: also works only when providing a path to robot file from original execution

> robot --report report.html --output rerun\_output.xml -R original\_result\_output.xml \<path\_to\_robot\_file\>

_Rerun_: Same command as for tags-execution also doesn’t work and throws the same error

> robot --report report.html --output rerun\_output.xml -R original\_result\_output.xml tests

Error:

> '[ERROR] Suite ‘Tests’ contains no tests matching name \<test\_suite\_name.test\_case\_name, …\>

Is there any way to same command for tags/test\_names/path\_to\_files executions for re-running tests based on output.xml?
