robot.model package

Package with generic, reusable and extensible model classes.

This package contains, for example, TestSuite, TestCase, Keyword and SuiteVisitor base classes. These classes are extended both by execution and result related model objects and used also elsewhere.

clear() → None. Remove all items from D.

copy()

get(k[, d]) → D[k] if k in D, else d. d defaults to None.

itervalues() → an iterator over the values of D

keys() → list of D's keys

pop(k[, d]) → v, remove specified key and return the corresponding value.

If key is not found, d is returned if given, otherwise KeyError is raised.

popitem() → (k, v), remove and return some (key, value) pair

as a 2-tuple; but raise KeyError if D is empty.

add_test(test)

visit_test(test)

Implements traversing through the test and its keywords.

Can be overridden to allow modifying the passed in test without calling start_test() or end_test() nor visiting keywords.

visit_keyword(kw)

Implements traversing through the keyword and its child keywords.

Can be overridden to allow modifying the passed in kw without calling start_keyword() or end_keyword() nor visiting child keywords.

end_keyword(keyword)

Called when keyword ends. Default implementation does nothing.

end_message(msg)

Called when message ends. Default implementation does nothing.

end_suite(suite)

Called when suite ends. Default implementation does nothing.

end_test(test)

Called when test ends. Default implementation does nothing.

start_keyword(keyword)

Called when keyword starts. Default implementation does nothing.

Can return explicit False to stop visiting.

start_message(msg)

Called when message starts. Default implementation does nothing.

Can return explicit False to stop visiting.

start_suite(suite)

Called when suite starts. Default implementation does nothing.

Can return explicit False to stop visiting.

start_test(test)

Called when test starts. Default implementation does nothing.

Can return explicit False to stop visiting.

visit_message(msg)

Implements visiting the message.

Can be overridden to allow modifying the passed in msg without calling start_message() or end_message().

visit_suite(suite)

Implements traversing through the suite and its direct children.

Can be overridden to allow modifying the passed in suite without calling start_suite() or end_suite() nor visiting child suites, tests or keywords (setup and teardown) at all.

robot.model.visitor module

Interface to ease traversing through a test suite structure.

Visitors make it easy to modify test suite structures or to collect information from them. They work both with the executable model and the result model, but the objects passed to the visitor methods are slightly different depending on the model they are used with. The main differences are that on the execution side keywords do not have child keywords nor messages, and that only the result objects have status related attributes like status and starttime.

This module contains SuiteVisitor that implements the core logic to visit a test suite structure, and the result package contains ResultVisitor that supports visiting the whole test execution result structure. Both of these visitors should be imported via the robot.api package when used by external code.

Visitor algorithm

All suite, test, keyword and message objects have a visit() method that accepts a visitor instance. These methods will then call the correct visitor method visit_suite(), visit_test(), visit_keyword() or visit_message(), depending on the instance where the visit() method exists.

The recommended and definitely easiest way to implement a visitor is extending the SuiteVisitor base class. The default implementation of its visit_x() methods take care of traversing child elements of the object x recursively. A visit_x() method first calls a corresponding start_x() method (e.g. visit_suite() calls start_suite()), then calls visit() for all child objects of the x object, and finally calls the corresponding end_x() method. The default implementations of start_x() and end_x() do nothing.

Visitors extending the SuiteVisitor can stop visiting at a certain level either by overriding suitable visit_x() method or by returning an explicit False from any start_x() method.

Examples

The following example visitor modifies the test suite structure it visits. It could be used, for example, with Robot Framework’s --prerunmodifier option to modify test data before execution.

"""Pre-run modifier that selects only every Xth test for execution.

Starts from the first test by default. Tests are selected per suite.
"""

from robot.api import SuiteVisitor


class SelectEveryXthTest(SuiteVisitor):

    def __init__(self, x, start=0):
        self.x = int(x)
        self.start = int(start)

    def start_suite(self, suite):
        """Modify suite's tests to contain only every Xth."""
        suite.tests = suite.tests[self.start::self.x]

    def end_suite(self, suite):
        """Remove suites that are empty after removing tests."""
        suite.suites = [s for s in suite.suites if s.test_count > 0]

    def visit_test(self, test):
        """Avoid visiting tests and their keywords to save a little time."""
        pass

For more examples it is possible to look at the source code of visitors used internally by Robot Framework itself. Some good examples are TagSetter and keyword removers.
