Description

« Hide

I have a set of configurations as:

parent
-- child1
-- child2

Parent is a sequential composition that is used to kick off the two child steps. I have variables defined in the parent, which are then overwritten by each of the children.

My problem is that when I run the parent, the variables are not being overwritten by the child steps. Rather the value defined in the parent is being retained. Is this a known issue? Is it expected behavior? Or am I implementing my configuration variables incorrectly?

Thanks

The overritten variales will be take effect when running child configurations (for instance in its own steps), but not in the step defined in parent configuration to trigger child configurations.

Changing my comment above... the parent isn't a composition, rather it is another configuration that is used to kick off the child configurations (each having their own set of variables, with inheritance of course).
