cascade included-configs introduce duplicated requests #1947
Description
Minimal demo to reproduce::
test_common.yml:
scenarios:
test_common:
requests:
- url: http://httpbin.org/get
label: do_nothing.${__UUID()}
jsr223:
- language: groovy
script-text: |
log.info("do something with ${id}");
execute: before
test_1.yml
included-configs:
- test_common.yml
scenarios:
test_1:
requests:
- set-variables:
id: test1
- include-scenario: test_common
test_2.yml
included-configs:
- test_common.yml
scenarios:
test_2:
requests:
- set-variables:
id: test2
- include-scenario: test_common
test_3.yml
included-configs:
- test_1.yml
- test_2.yml
scenarios:
hello:
requests:
- include-scenario: test_1
- include-scenario: test_2
execution:
- scenario: hello
When running bzt test_3.yml, the messages "do something with test1" and "do something with test2" are printed twice in jmeter.log:

After digging into the code, I found the following in bzt/engine.py.
In the first loop of engine.configure
Then, in the second loop of engine.configure
The final included_configs list contains test_common.yml twice.
Using a set to deduplicate the included-configs entries can fix this issue.
