robot.running package

Implements the core test execution logic.

The main public entry points of this package are of the following two classes:

  • TestSuiteBuilder for creating executable test suites based on existing test case files and directories.
  • TestSuite for creating an executable test suite structure programmatically.

It is recommended to import both of these classes via the robot.api package like in the examples below. Also TestCase and Keyword classes used internally by the TestSuite class are part of the public API. In those rare cases where these classes are needed directly, they can be imported from this package.

Examples

First, let’s assume we have the following test suite in file activate_skynet.robot:

*** Settings ***
Library    OperatingSystem

*** Test Cases ***
Should Activate Skynet
    [Tags]    smoke
    [Setup]    Set Environment Variable    SKYNET    activated
    Environment Variable Should Be Set    SKYNET

We can easily parse and create an executable test suite based on the above file using the TestSuiteBuilder class as follows:

from robot.api import TestSuiteBuilder

suite = TestSuiteBuilder().build('path/to/activate_skynet.robot')

That was easy. Let’s next generate the same test suite from scratch using the TestSuite class:

from robot.api import TestSuite

suite = TestSuite('Activate Skynet')
suite.resource.imports.library('OperatingSystem')
test = suite.tests.create('Should Activate Skynet', tags=['smoke'])
test.keywords.create('Set Environment Variable', args=['SKYNET', 'activated'], type='setup')
test.keywords.create('Environment Variable Should Be Set', args=['SKYNET'])

Not that complicated either, especially considering the flexibility. Notice that the suite created based on the file could also be edited further using the same API.

Now that we have a test suite ready, let’s execute it and verify that the returned Result object contains correct information:

result = suite.run(critical='smoke', output='skynet.xml')

assert result.return_code == 0
assert result.suite.name == 'Activate Skynet'
test = result.suite.tests[0]
assert test.name == 'Should Activate Skynet'
assert test.passed and test.critical
stats = result.suite.statistics
assert stats.critical.total == 1 and stats.critical.failed == 0

Running the suite generates a normal output XML file, unless it is disabled by using output=None. Generating log, report, and xUnit files based on the results is possible using the ResultWriter class:

from robot.api import ResultWriter

# Report and xUnit files can be generated based on the result object.
ResultWriter(result).write_results(report='skynet.html', log=None)
# Generating log files requires processing the earlier generated output XML.
ResultWriter('skynet.xml').write_results()

Submodules

robot.running.builder module

class robot.running.builder.TestSuiteBuilder(include_suites=None, warn_on_skipped='DEPRECATED', extension=None, rpa=None)[source]

Bases: object

Creates executable TestSuite objects.

Suites are build based on existing test data on the file system.

See the overall documentation of the robot.running package for more information and examples.

Parameters:
  • include_suites – List of suite names to include. If None or an empty list, all suites are included. When executing tests normally, these names are specified using the --suite option.
  • warn_on_skipped – Deprecated.
  • extension – Limit parsing test data to only these files. Files are specified as an extension that is handled case-insensitively. Same as --extension on the command line.
  • rpa – Explicit test execution mode. True for RPA and False for test automation. By default mode is got from test data headers and possible conflicting headers cause an error.
build(*paths)[source]
Parameters:paths – Paths to test data files or directories.

robot.running.model module

Module implementing test execution related model objects.

When tests are executed normally, these objects are created based on the test data on the file system by TestSuiteBuilder, but external tools can also create an executable test suite model structure directly. Regardless the approach to create it, the model is executed by calling run() method of the root test suite. See the robot.running package level documentation for more information and examples.

The most important classes defined in this module are TestSuite, TestCase and Keyword. When tests are executed, these objects can be inspected and modified by pre-run modifiers and listeners. The aforementioned objects are considered stable, but other objects in this module may still be changed in the future major releases.

class robot.running.model.Keyword(name='', doc='', args=(), assign=(), tags=(), timeout=None, type='kw')[source]

Bases: robot.model.keyword.Keyword

Represents a single executable keyword.

These keywords never have child keywords or messages. The actual keyword that is executed depends on the context where this model is executed.

configure(randomize_suites=False, randomize_tests=False, randomize_seed=None, **options)[source]

A shortcut to configure a suite using one method call.

Can only be used with the root test suite.

Parameters:

Example:

suite.configure(included_tags=['smoke'],
                doc='Smoke test results.')
randomize(suites=True, tests=True, seed=None)[source]

Randomizes the order of suites and/or tests, recursively.

Parameters:
  • suites – Boolean controlling should suites be randomized.
  • tests – Boolean controlling should tests be randomized.
  • seed – Random seed. Can be given if previous random order needs to be re-created. Seed value is always shown in logs and reports.
run(settings=None, **options)[source]

Executes the suite based based the given settings or options.

Parameters:
  • settingsRobotSettings object to configure test execution.
  • options – Used to construct new RobotSettings object if settings are not given.
Returns:

Result object with information about executed suites and tests.

If options are used, their names are the same as long command line options except without hyphens. Some options are ignored (see below), but otherwise they have the same semantics as on the command line. Options that can be given on the command line multiple times can be passed as lists like variable=['VAR1:value1', 'VAR2:value2']. If such an option is used only once, it can be given also as a single string like variable='VAR:value'.

Additionally listener option allows passing object directly instead of listener name, e.g. run('tests.robot', listener=Listener()).

To capture stdout and/or stderr streams, pass open file objects in as special keyword arguments stdout and stderr, respectively.

Only options related to the actual test execution have an effect. For example, options related to selecting or modifying test cases or suites (e.g. --include, --name, --prerunmodifier) or creating logs and reports are silently ignored. The output XML generated as part of the execution can be configured, though. This includes disabling it with output=None.

Example:

stdout = StringIO()
result = suite.run(variable='EXAMPLE:value',
                   critical='regression',
                   output='example.xml',
                   exitonfailure=True,
                   stdout=stdout)
print result.return_code

To save memory, the returned Result object does not have any information about the executed keywords. If that information is needed, the created output XML file needs to be read using the ExecutionResult factory method.

See the package level documentation for more examples, including how to construct executable test suites and how to create logs and reports based on the execution results.

See the robot.run function for a higher-level API for executing tests in files or directories.

copy(**attributes)

Return shallow copy of this object.

Parameters:attributes – Attributes to be set for the returned copy automatically. For example, test.copy(name='New name').

See also deepcopy(). The difference between these two is the same as with the standard copy.copy and copy.deepcopy functions that these methods also use internally.

New in Robot Framework 3.0.1.

doc
filter(included_suites=None, included_tests=None, included_tags=None, excluded_tags=None)[source]

Select test cases and remove others from this suite.

Parameters have the same semantics as --suite, --test, --include, and --exclude command line options. All of them can be given as a list of strings, or when selecting only one, as a single string.

Child suites that contain no tests after filtering are automatically removed.

Example:

suite.filter(included_tests=['Test 1', '* Example'],
             included_tags='priority-1')
id

An automatically generated unique id.

The root suite has id s1, its child suites have ids s1-s1, s1-s2, …, their child suites get ids s1-s1-s1, s1-s1-s2, …, s1-s2-s1, …, and so on.

The first test in a suite has an id like s1-t1, the second has an id s1-t2, and so on. Similarly keywords in suites (setup/teardown) and in tests get ids like s1-k1, s1-t1-k1, and s1-s4-t2-k5.

keywords

Suite setup and teardown as a Keywords object.

longname

Suite name prefixed with the long name of the parent suite.
