pabot:: 是否可以在 --argumentfile 选项中发送 --variablefile <<filename>> 而不是 --variable key:value ？

Question

我需要将已经在变量文件中的 100 个变量的列表发送到 pabot作为参数文件参数的一部分，如下所示，我们使用参数文件的原因是，我们有来自多台机器的配置，这些机器位于它们自己的变量文件中，我们计划为各自的机器创建多个参数文件，并立即在所有机器上启动测试套件。因此，我们正在寻找将变量文件嵌入到参数文件中，而不是提供所有 100 个变量作为单独的键值对。

根据 pabot 文档，不支持 --variablefile ，当我使用 --variablefile 而不是 --variable 时，我看到以下错误。有没有其他方法可以在参数文件中传递变量文件？或者有没有其他更好的方法来实现这一点？

(rf0) apachemain@apachemain:~$ pabot --verbose --argumentfile1 ./mdc/arg1.txt --argumentfile2 ./mdc/arg2.txt --ordering order mdc/

Try --help for usage information.

这就是我要找的东西

pabot --verbose --argumentfile1 ./dc1/arg1.txt --argumentfile2 ./dc1/arg2.txt dc_suites/

Inside respective argumentfile
cat arg1.txt 
--variablefile  /home/apachemain/dc/var1.py

我使用pabot做了以下制作。

实际行为 pabot 命令用于在 dc1 目录中执行测试。

pabot --verbose --argumentfile1 ./dc/arg1.txt dc1/

根据pabot文档，只能提供--variable key:value，不能提供文件引用，是否可以在pabot的argumentfile中传递variablefile而不是--variable？

(base) apachemain@apachemain:~/dc$ cat arg1.txt 
--variable var_num1:1
--variable var_num2:1

(base) ain@apain:~/mdc$ cat arg1.txt 
-d myoutputdir
--variable var_num1:1
--variable var_num2:1

经过数小时搜索文档并在网络上寻找答案后，问题以空间结束。这是他们可以真正改进框架的事情之一。这真是令人沮丧！

问题在于选项 --variablefile FILENAME 之间的空格（不是 TAB）

(rf0) apachemain@apachemain:~$ cat mdc/arg1.txt 
-d myoutputdir
--variablefile /home/apachemain/mdc/var1.py

(rf0) apachemain@apachemain:~$ pabot --verbose --argumentfile1 ./mdc/arg1.txt --argumentfile2 ./mdc/arg2.txt --ordering order mdc/
