First off, It’s really hard to say anything if you don’t share how you load the variable or proper logs **but** lets speculate.

MacOS has case sensitive filesystem while Linux does not. This means;

```python
***Settings***
Resource ../Resources/vars.resource

```

If you have something like that but the actual directory name is `resources`, that will work on Mac but Not on linux and thus, variables loaded from vars.resource would be unavailable…

Thanks for your response , I have checked resource file name . it’s correct . Please let me know if that kind of error can occur due to docker container .

Yes.

Once again, if you dont share any code, there’s near 0 possibilities someone can just guess whats is causing the issue.

Thanks for your reply , I have resolved it by renaming of locator file name.
