I’m testing a mobile app that requires an input from a Web UI. I’m working from a MAC.  
I have created two tests,  
Test 1. Runs on the Web UI and stores the required information on a GlobalVariable. The test runs Ok when started as a Chrome WebUI.  
Test 2. Runs on Android and call the test above when the info in available and needed.  
My problem: When I call test 1. from the test 2. There is the following error:
