rflogs CLI

rflogs is a command-line interface tool for uploading and managing Robot Framework test results with the RF Logs service. It provides an easy way to integrate RF Logs with your CI/CD pipelines or local development workflow.

Installation

Install rflogs using pipx (recommended) or pip:

pipx install rflogs

or

pip install rflogs

Usage

Authentication

rflogs uses an API key for authentication. Set your RF Logs API key as an environment variable:

export RFLOGS_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

You can add this line to your shell configuration file (e.g., .bashrc, .zshrc) to make it permanent.

Tagging Runs

You can associate tags with your test runs to categorize and filter them. Tags can be specified using the --tag or -t option when uploading results.

Tag Format

• Key-Value Tags: key:value
• Simple Tags: tag

Constraints

• Tag Keys:

  • Must start with a letter (a-z, A-Z).
  • Length: 1 to 50 characters.
  • Allowed Characters: Letters, numbers, underscores (_), hyphens (-), dots (.).
  • Case-Insensitive: Env and env are considered the same key.

• Tag Values:

  • Length: 1 to 100 characters.
  • Allowed Characters: Letters, numbers, spaces, underscores (_), hyphens (-), dots (.), slashes (/).
  • Case-Sensitive.

Examples

# Valid Tags
rflogs upload -t env:production -t browser:chrome -t regression

# Invalid Tag Key (starts with a number)
rflogs upload -t 1env:production  # Will produce an error

# Invalid Tag Value (contains invalid character '@')
rflogs upload -t env:prod@ction  # Will produce an error

Uploading Test Results

Upload test results after running your Robot Framework tests:

rflogs upload [OUTPUTDIR]

• OUTPUTDIR: Optional. Specifies the location of the test output files. Default is the current directory.
• The command does not perform a recursive search.

This command will:

1. Find relevant test result files (log.html, report.html, output.xml, and screenshots) in the specified directory
2. Compress output.xml using tar.gz
3. Upload all files to the RF Logs server
4. Provide a link to view the uploaded results

Example output:

$ rflogs upload ./results

Downloading Test Results

Download test results to your local machine:

rflogs download <run_id>

This command downloads all files associated with the specified test result to your current directory.

Example output:

$ rflogs download 1234abcd
Downloaded log.html
Downloaded report.html
Downloaded output.xml
Downloaded screenshot1.png
Downloaded screenshot2.png

Deleting a Test Run

To delete a specific run:

rflogs delete <run_id>

This command will immediately delete the specified run and its associated files from the server.

Integration with CI/CD Systems

GitHub Actions

To integrate rflogs with GitHub Actions, add the following step to your workflow:

- name: Upload Robot Framework results
  env:
    RFLOGS_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.RFLOGS_API_KEY }}
  run: |
    pipx install rflogs
    rflogs upload ./results

Make sure to set the RFLOGS_API_KEY secret in your GitHub repository settings.
