Pabot grouping in --ordering option is not working correctly

[DKryczka]

Describe the bug After setting up test suites to groups using {}, group tests are not running, only parallel tests in random order.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create order.txt file which contains: { --suite Test-Cases.Test1 --suite Test-Cases.Test2 --suite Test-Cases.Test3 } { --suite Test-Cases.Test4 --suite Test-Cases.Test5 }
2. Run Tests sudo docker run --shm-size=1g
   -v ${path}:/opt/robotframework/reports:Z
   -v ${path}:/opt/robotframework/tests:Z
   -e ROBOT_THREADS=2
   -e BROWSER=headlesschrome
   -e PABOT_OPTIONS="--ordering /opt/robotframework/tests/order.txt"
   ppodgorsek/robot-framework:latest

Expected behavior It should run group tests, each thread should run single group

Please provide any relevant information, such as:

• MacOS / Linux
• Browser Chromium/Firefox latest versions
• Im using Browser Library
• I run tests locally using pabot v2.0 with same order.txt file and group tests are working good. Maybe there is a problem with old pabot version and updating it to 2.0 on docker will fix issue?

Hi @DKryczka , thank you for reporting this issue. The Pabot library has been upgraded today and is in the latest image, could you try again please? If it still doesn't work, I would suggest you open a bug report within the Pabot project, as this seems to be a bug on their side.
