Run test suite is not working

[email2vimalraj]

I've added my folder into Brackets. I've created a new file with .robot as an extension, ex: Check_Brackets.robot which is under ${EXECDIR}/tests/

I've the opened in the editor, and when I select "Robot > Run test suite", I get the following error:

[
ERROR ] Parsing 'check_brackets' failed: Data source does not exist.
Try --help for usage information.

If I run it manually from the command line, it is working fine.
I fixed it in local, and if you confirm, I can fork and pull-request with the fix.

This information may give you more additional details:

It seems the runner is not taking the current working directory.
Ex: My testsuite is placed in C:/robot-demo/tests/Check_Brackets.robot

And added the robot-demo folder in the brackets editor. Now I opened the Check_Brackets.robot and ran the test suite, then this problem comes. It seems the runner checks the file Check_Brackets.robot in C:/robot-demo folder.

You are correct, The runner does not take the current working directory
into consideration. It cd's to the project root (File->Open Folder)

So is it working as expected?
Or are we fixing it?

working as expected. The runner will cd to the project folder before
running the test. You can always write a little python script that cds
wherever you want, and run that instead of pybot.

Hmm.. But I'd suggest to configure it from the editor. It should be upto the user from where he want to trigger the run.

Like when we select Run Test Suite, the dialog box should pop-up and should ask the following:

1. Run from Project Folder - may be a checkbox
2. Arguments to pass to the robot.run command

Having to specify where to run every time would get really annoying real
fast. One of my main goals was to be able to save and execute with just two
keystrokes. Having to fill in a dialog box gets in the way of that goal.

However, I could have an option the user could set to define this behavior
-- whether you get a dialog box or not. Unfortunately brackets doesn't yet
have a good way to manage preferences -- you have to open the preferences
file and hand-edit raw json.

Hmm... that means, I should not add my folder as a project to the bracket. I have to open a file and run. I don't think that's a good idea.

The both scenarios should be supported if you believe.
