robotparser

Covert Robotframework output.xml result to output.json

Context

You utilize the Robot Framework for testing your application, and while the test results currently exist in XML format, you require a JSON result file for additional data processing. Look no further – this script is designed to assist you in effortlessly converting an XML test result file into a JSON format.

Usage

1. Prerequisite

python: You have python installed on your machine. See: https://www.python.org/downloads/

2. Clone the repository

Run git clone [email protected]:tungbq/robotparser.git

3. Run `robotparser` script directly on your machine

If you want to run the tool directly on your machine, follow below steps:

# Navigate to your cloned code
cd robotparser

# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Start the script
python robotparser.py -i <input-outputxml-file> -o <output-json-file>

Options explaination

  -i, --input-file Specify the input XML file generated by robot test (e.g., robot-result/output.xml)
  -o, --output-file Specify the output JSON file (e.g., output/output.json)
  -h, --help Display this help message

Example

python3 robotparser.py -i samples/input/hello_robot.xml -o output/hello_robot.json
python3 robotparser.py -i samples/input/output_5_0.xml -o output/output_5_0.json
python3 robotparser.py -i samples/input/output_5_0.xml -o output/output_5_0.json
python3 robotparser.py -i samples/input/robot_demo_keyword_driven.xml -o output/robot_demo_keyword_driven.json

4. Run the script in Docker (Optional)

If you want to run the script inside a Docker container, follow below steps:

Build the docker image

cd robotparser
docker build -t robotparser:latest .

Start robotparser inside container
Update the YOUR_ROBOT_SCRIPT_PATH which contains your target output.xml

cd robotparser
YOUR_ROBOT_SCRIPT_PATH="/home/user/testing/robot_result/"
# Mount your robot sccipt path to docker container. Note that `/app` is the workspace of docker container
docker run --rm --name my_robotparser \
 -v ${YOUR_ROBOT_SCRIPT_PATH}:/app \
 robotparser:latest \
 -i /app/your_robot_filename_in.xml \
 -o /app/your_robot_filename_out.json

One completed, we can find the JSON result under YOUR_ROBOT_SCRIPT_PATH
