Robot Framework test suite for Python unittest framework
Project description
Python unittest test suite for Robot Framework
This is an experimental package for wrapping Robot Framework test suites into Python unittest suites to make it possible to run Robot Framework tests as plone.testing’s layered test suites:
import unittest2 as unittest
from plone.testing import layered
from robotsuite import RobotTestSuite
from my_package.testing import ACCEPTANCE_TESTING
def test_suite():
suite = unittest.TestSuite()
suite.addTests([
layered(RobotTestSuite('mysuite.txt'),
layer=ACCEPTANCE_TESTING),
])
return suite
RobotTestSuite splits Robot Framework test suites into separate unittest test cases so that Robot will be run once for every test case in every test suite parsed from the given Robot Framework test suite. Because of that, each Robot will generate a separate test report for each test. Each report will have it’s own folder, which are created recursively reflecting the structure of the given test suite.
RobotTestSuite’s way of wrapping tests into unittest’s test suite is similar to how doctest-module’s DocTestSuite does its wrappings.
The main motivation behind this package is to make Robot Framework support existing test fixtures and test isolation when testing Plone. Yet, this should help anyone wanting to use Robot Framework with zope.testrunner or other Python unittest compatible test runner.
