Whats the content of testsuite1.txt : I know you would have chosen some testcases in it. But wanted to know how you have defined in the testsuite1.txt. I am unable to define 3 of my robot scripts in it

[shruthishru]

Hi Raghav, the approach you use is very easy to understand. Thank you for the easy learning video 😁. could you give me a small clarification that in the video we have seen the testsuite.txt file and i'm confused that what exactly the file contains. I had gone through all your videos but in previous videos ( how to create tags - beginners video 7 from 11:15 onwards ) you have used that existing one but not created new one..Since i'm very new to robotframework, bit lost in middle . It would be helpful if you could suggest how to create testsuit.txt file..Thank you once again. You're saviour 😍

[saileshbotcha]

Hi Raghav,
Using Ride can we pass test data through Arguments ?
please help me if this is possible as i want to run same test case with multiple values (test data) instead of hard coding it.
when i try to add variables in arguments field it turn to red color with unknown error.
Assuming one default value to be set in variable, When i run this test case it should take the value that i wanna run (from arguments or any other option available) or by default it should take the value assigned to the variable.
