I have these issues too, works perfectly in getgauge 0.3.9 but when I upgrade to latest getgauge (0.3.17) I get a bunch of these parsing errors...

@zhipingren
Can you share the spec file format at the following location in your error trace?

Failed to parse /home/centos/diracsea/powergauge/step_impl/LIVE/step_implement/live_push_pull.py: Error, got an unexpected token STAR here:

Parsing library changed 0.3.9 and 0.3.15 and this could be because of an unexpected format in your gauge spec file on implementation.

I have this issue as well. Tested with python 3.11, getgauge 0.3.17.
the following code results with the below error:
app = subprocess.Popen([exePath, *appArgs], shell=True)

error:

It worked well with getgauge 0.3.10
