Side Runner does not take the variables from the previous test case in the same test suite

[ianhe1]

🐛 Bug Report

I have a test suite that contains a number of test cases.
test suite 1
test case 1 - set environment variables (one of the variables is user ID)
test case 2 - login (using the used ID that was set in the test case 1)
test case 3 - carry out web page operations
test case 4 - ....

The test runs fine in Selenium IDE
But it failed when I run from side runner
I can see that the user ID is not passed to the login test case.

Environment

Browser:

I remember the similar test was running fine before. Could it be due to that node version? I have latest node js installed on my machine. I noticed that the side runner supports node.js 8-10

@ianhe1 - Thank you for sharing repro and steps. I'll try taking a look later tonight. I probably need to adjust my handling of the variables w/r/t the persist session boolean

@toddtarsi Thank you very much Todd.

@ianhe1 - Sorry that took a couple extra days, batched up a bunch of little improvements and fixes.

.58 is going out tonight and should be an overall improvement here. I used your side file to test, thanks for that! Please let me know your experience.

Thank you @toddtarsi for your help. I will test it out and let you know. How can I get your fix? Just reinstall the latest side runner?

[toddtarsi]

Yep! I keep publishing new versions here:

[toddtarsi]

Oh oops, that's the IDE! Yes, there should be a new version of the side runner on npm

[toddtarsi]

npm i selenium-side-runner@latest

[ianhe1]

@toddtarsi Got it. I reinstalled the runner and tested your fix. It works now! Thank you very much Todd for your help in resolving this issue so quickly. Very much appreciated!
