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.

Changelog
=========
0.8.0 (2012-09-13)
------------------
- Added support for setting pybot cli-variables from ROBOT_-prefixed
environment variables.
0.7.0 (2012-09-11)
------------------
- Implemented custom merge for Robot Framework reports to create better
concatenated test report and fully support Robot Framework plugin for
Jenkins.
- Fixed to copy (selenium-)screenshots into the root test directory to
make it easier to publish them in Jenkins.
0.6.0 (2012-08-21)
------------------
- Fixed screenshot paths in concatenated report.
- Fixed test names to include suite filename instead of classname.
- Fixed to allow dash in normalized test names.
0.5.0 (2012-07-23)
------------------
- Included robotframework test tags as part of tests' string representation
to allow test be filtered with tags (e.g. with `zope.testrunner`_).
- Added creation of concatenated log file.
0.4.0 (2012-06-04)
------------------
- Fixed to rename test method of each test after the actual robot framework
test run by the test case.
0.3.1 (2012-06-03)
------------------
- Updated README.
0.3.0 (2012-06-03)
------------------
- Enabled robotframework reports for tests. Each test suite and each test
will have their own outputdir, recursively.
0.2.0 (2012-06-02)
------------------
- Support for directories as (recursive) suites.
0.1.0 (2012-05-30)
------------------
- Proof of concept.
