RobotFramework

Contents:

Example test cases, test library used by a robo project, and generated results are available also online. Therefore, you do not need to download the project if you are not interested in running it yourself.

robot --include=regression .\TestCases\CredentialTest.robot

  Command to exclude test cases with Tag regression  

robot -e regression .\TestCases\Credentials.robot

  Command to run test cases with both Tags i.e sanity and regression

robot -i sanity -i regression .\TestCases\Credentials.robot

6. Reading data from a complex Json file and passing the same onto a website

Import the DebugLibrary.py file present in this project root folder into your test case Use Suite Tear down keyword and a keyword Teardown Actions as shown below    

Make sure to include the set breakpoint in your test case to activate the Python Debugger (Pdb)

Use the below command in the terminal, to run the test cases in Debug Mode

$Env:ROBOT_DEBUG = 'TRUE'; robot  .\TestCases\ReadingDataFromJson.robot

Set the value of the variable to the desired value at run time

BuiltIn().set_local_variable("{firstName}", "Superman") 

In order to get the value of the variables during run time use below command in Pdb

BuiltIn().get_variable_value("${firstName}")

Screen-shot of how the value will look like after runtime modification of the variable

When pause for debug keyword is used , we get to see the below pop-up, where the execution gets stopped

robot .\TestCases\Credentials.robot > results/console-output.txt

The above will create a txt log file which has all the contents of Log to Console key word present in your test case into a results directly

robot --output original.xml tests                          # first execute all tests

robot --rerunfailed original.xml --output rerun.xml tests  # then re-execute failing

rebot --merge original.xml rerun.xml                       # finally merge results

A precondition for running the tests is having Robot Framework installed. It is most commonly used on Python but it works also with Jython (JVM) and IronPython (.NET). Robot Framework installation instructions cover installation procedure in detail. People already familiar with installing Python packages and having pip package manager installed, can simply run the following command:

pip install robotframework  

Robot Framework 3.0 and newer support Python 3 in addition to Python 2.
