Featue request: Pass env variables to the manual suite

Description

Hi,

I need the ability to customize a running suite execution. I already do
that today by exposing env variables to the performance suite, I just
need an ability to create and pass that using the (great ) manual job.

If you need more references just let me know

Thanks

I am likely to close this ticket with WONTFIX soon, leaving it open for a while for further discussion.

the lack of configurability is by design - so that all suits have exactly the same "API", and therefore we can easily use them in various places and no suit-specific knowledge is needed for running any suit.

I suggest you rethink your design so extra variables are not needed. Some options you can consider:

  • Have the suit automatically test various different variable values internally (You can use the lago snapshot and restor features to to reset the system to a known state and re-test).

  • Create multiple suites that share most code and predefine variable values (E.g. 'Big'/'Medium' and 'Small' suits).

Won't Fix
