--ordering behaviour unclear

[DasEichhornchen]

Hello everyone,
I am creating this thread because I have been facing an issue recently.

I am currently looking into using pabot in my work, with the following requirement.

I need some tests to run within sequential blocks.
This is easily doable if I use the --ordering option.

Currently, my ordering file looks like this:

--test dir1.dir2.dir3.NameOfTheTest1
--test dir1.dir2.dir3.NameOfTheTest2
#WAIT
--test dir1.dirA.dirB.NameOfTheTest3
--test dir1.dirA.dirB.NameOfTheTest4

And so on and so on.
Since we use the --name option when we run our test suites, it means the above example will become:

--test myCustomName.dir2.dir3.NameOfTheTest1
--test myCustomName.dir2.dir3.NameOfTheTest2
#WAIT
--test myCustomName.dirA.dirB.NameOfTheTest3
--test myCustomName.dirA.dirB.NameOfTheTest4

So far so good.
Now that is the problematic part for us:
I want that ordering file to be generic. Which means, the content to be agnostic of the --name myCustomName.

When reading the documentation, I saw the following:

If the base suite name is changing with robot option --name / -N you can also give partial suite name without the base suite.

What I understood from it is that the ordering file could become (see below), and still work as expected:

--test dir2.dir3.NameOfTheTest1
--test dir2.dir3.NameOfTheTest2
#WAIT
--test dirA.dirB.NameOfTheTest3
--test dirA.dirB.NameOfTheTest4

Sadly, this last example does not work anymore.
If the content of the ordering file does not match the full patch of the test/suite, pabot will not recognise it.

My question is:

Is there something I am missing in that usage ?
If yes, could someone explain to me what I am doing wrong ?

If not, would someone be able to have a look at it ?

Sadly, I am not good enough in Python to dive into the code and check it myself.

Thanks a lot in advance for your help :)

Forgot to mention, I also tried with suites directly within the file, and I get another error.

Here are the steps I took:

Command executed:
pabot --verbose --ordering Resources/Pabot/pabot_ordering_test.txt --name myTestSuite -i mytest1 .

Dir structure:

Repo dir
|_zzzMyTestSuite
|___MyTests2Pabot
|
|_zzzMyTestSuitePabot
|___MyTests2Pabot

And here is my ordering file:

--suite Tests.zzzMyTestSuite.MyTests2Pabot
#WAIT
--suite Tests.zzzMyTestSuitePabot.MyTests2Pabot

Here are the contents of both suites:
1st one:

2nd one:

When I run the pabot command, I get the following error:

Let me know if you need anything else.
I hope my description is clear enough :)
