I am new to Robot and am learning to write logic and test cases.
I have a test suite, "mytestsuite.robot", which has a lot of test cases. I have a couple of errors in one of my test cases.
How do I run just that specific test case since I don't want to run the whole test suite again?
testcase1 .... .... testcase2 .... .... testcase3 .... .... testcase4 .... ....
Say test case 3 failed, and I want to just rerun test case 3.
I tried to use:
pybot mytestsuite.robot -t testcase3
But I get an error.
For example, if you are running tests on the current folder, you can pass "." as many times as you want the test to run. Ex: robot -t "*My test*" . . . This command will run all tests that match the expression 3 times, and the report will contain all 3 executions and results.
You want to use the option -t
or --test
, but the option goes before the name of the file rather than after. This should work:
robot -t testcase1 mytestsuite.robot
The order of the command line arguments is covered in the user guide under a section titled Starting test execution, and is also available at the command line with the --help
option (e.g. pybot --help
)
Be aware that the specific file name is optional. You could use only: robot -t testcase1 .
Where "." means look for all files that contains the specified test. Robot will do the hard work of finding the specific test.
You can use also willcard as * in the begining or finish of the test name, to match easily a test or to run multiple tests.
robot -t "testcase1*" .
Will match all tests that begin with "testcase1" in current folder.
The user guide has a section titled Selecting test cases which covers this subject.
If you want to run single test case in Robot Framework, use the below example.
Syntax: robot -t "Test Case Name" Test Suite Name
Example: robot - t "PON Type Test Case" Aquarium_Project.robot
If you want to run all the test cases in Robot Framework, use the below example
Syntax: robot Test Suite Name
Example: robot Aquarium_Project.robot
