Description Scott Poore 2012-01-04 21:14:54 UTC 
Description of problem:

tcms-submit treats variables as litteral strings when parsing a test script looking for descriptions on the rlPhaseStartTest lines.

We would like to be able to use variabales in rlPhaseStartTest descriptions like this:

desc="create rule for group"
rlPhaseStartTest "ipa-automember-cli-1001: $desc"

When trying this though, it was simply translated as something like this:

/CoreOS/ipa-server/acceptance/ipa-automember-cli ipa-automember-cli-1001-desc

We would prefer this gets parsed from the script like this:

/CoreOS/ipa-server/acceptance/ipa-automember-cli ipa-automember-cli-1001-create-rule-for-group

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

qa-tools-2.0-49.x86_64

How reproducible:

consistently

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  create test scripts using beaker library rlPhase* code
2.  set variable before rlPhaseStartTest line
3.  use variable in rlPhaseStartTest "description argument"
  
Actual results:

variable translated to literal string

Expected results:

variable parsed for value
