or: python|jython|ipy path/to/robot/run.py [options] data_sources
or: java -jar robotframework.jar run [options] data_sources
Robot Framework is a Python-based keyword-driven test automation framework for
acceptance level testing and acceptance test-driven development (ATDD). It has
an easy-to-use tabular syntax for creating test cases and its testing
capabilities can be extended by test libraries implemented either with Python
or Java. Users can also create new keywords from existing ones using the same
simple syntax that is used for creating test cases.
Depending is Robot Framework installed using Python, Jython, or IronPython
interpreter, it has a start-up script, `pybot`, `jybot` or `ipybot`,
respectively. Alternatively, it is possible to directly execute `robot.run`
module (e.g. `python -m robot.run`) or `robot/run.py` script using a selected
interpreter. Finally, there is also a standalone JAR distribution.
Data sources given to Robot Framework are either test case files or directories
containing them and/or other directories. Single test case file creates a test
suite containing all the test cases in it and a directory containing test case
files creates a higher level test suite with test case files or other
directories as sub test suites. If multiple data sources are given, a virtual
top level suite containing suites generated from given data sources is created.
By default Robot Framework creates an XML output file and a log and a report in
HTML format, but this can be configured using various options listed below.
Outputs in HTML format are for human consumption and XML output for integration
with other systems. XML outputs can also be combined and otherwise further
processed with `rebot` tool. Run `rebot --help` for more information.

Options
=======
-N --name name Set the name of the top level test suite. Underscores
in the name are converted to spaces. Default name is
created from the name of the executed data source.
-D --doc documentation Set the documentation of the top level test suite.
Underscores in the documentation are converted to
spaces and it may also contain simple HTML formatting
(e.g. *bold* and http://url/).
-M --metadata name:value * Set metadata of the top level suite. Underscores
in the name and value are converted to spaces. Value
can contain same HTML formatting as --doc.
Example: --metadata version:1.2
-G --settag tag * Sets given tag(s) to all executed test cases.
-t --test name * Select test cases to run by name or long name. Name
is case and space insensitive and it can also be a
simple pattern where `*` matches anything and `?`
matches any char. If using `*` and `?` in the console
is problematic see --escape and --argumentfile.
-s --suite name * Select test suites to run by name. When this option
is used with --test, --include or --exclude, only
test cases in matching suites and also matching other
filtering criteria are selected. Name can be a simple
pattern similarly as with --test and it can contain
parent name separated with a dot. For example
`-s X.Y` selects suite `Y` only if its parent is `X`.
-i --include tag * Select test cases to run by tag. Similarly as name
with --test, tag is case and space insensitive and it
is possible to use patterns with `*` and `?` as
wildcards. Tags and patterns can also be combined
together with `AND`, `OR`, and `NOT` operators.
Examples: --include foo --include bar*
--include fooANDbar*
-e --exclude tag * Select test cases not to run by tag. These tests are
not run even if included with --include. Tags are
matched using the rules explained with --include.
-R --rerunfailed output Select failed tests from an earlier output file to be
re-executed. Equivalent to selecting same tests
individually using --test option.
--runfailed output Deprecated since RF 2.8.4. Use --rerunfailed instead.
-c --critical tag * Tests having given tag are considered critical. If no
critical tags are set, all tags are critical. Tags
can be given as a pattern like with --include.
-n --noncritical tag * Tests with given tag are not critical even if they
have a tag set with --critical. Tag can be a pattern.
-v --variable name:value * Set variables in the test data. Only scalar
variables are supported and name is given without
`${}`. See --escape for how to use special characters
and --variablefile for a more powerful variable
setting mechanism that allows also list variables.
Examples:
--variable str:Hello => ${str} = `Hello`
-v str:Hi_World -E space:_ => ${str} = `Hi World`
-v x: -v y:42 => ${x} = ``, ${y} = `42`
-V --variablefile path * File to read variables from (e.g. `path/vars.py`).
Example file:
| import random
| __all__ = [`scalar`, `LIST__var`, `integer`]
| scalar = `Hello world!`
| LIST__var = [`Hello`, `list`, `world`]
| integer = random.randint(1,10)
=>
${scalar} = `Hello world!`
@{var} = [`Hello`,`list`,`world`]
${integer} = <random integer from 1 to 10>
-d --outputdir dir Where to create output files. The default is the
directory where tests are run from and the given path
is considered relative to that unless it is absolute.
-o --output file XML output file. Given path, similarly as paths given
to --log, --report, --xunit, and --debugfile, is
relative to --outputdir unless given as an absolute
path. Other output files are created based on XML
output files after the test execution and XML outputs
can also be further processed with Rebot tool. Can be
disabled by giving a special value `NONE`. In this
case, also log and report are automatically disabled.
Default: output.xml
-l --log file HTML log file. Can be disabled by giving a special
value `NONE`. Default: log.html
Examples: `--log mylog.html`, `-l NONE`
-r --report file HTML report file. Can be disabled with `NONE`
similarly as --log. Default: report.html
-x --xunit file xUnit compatible result file. Not created unless this
option is specified.
--xunitfile file Deprecated. Use --xunit instead.
--xunitskipnoncritical Mark non-critical tests on xUnit output as skipped.
-b --debugfile file Debug file written during execution. Not created
unless this option is specified.
-T --timestampoutputs When this option is used, timestamp in a format
`YYYYMMDD-hhmmss` is added to all generated output
files between their basename and extension. For
example `-T -o output.xml -r report.html -l none`
creates files like `output-20070503-154410.xml` and
`report-20070503-154410.html`.
--splitlog Split log file into smaller pieces that open in
browser transparently.
--logtitle title Title for the generated test log. The default title
is `<Name Of The Suite> Test Log`. Underscores in
the title are converted into spaces in all titles.
--reporttitle title Title for the generated test report. The default
title is `<Name Of The Suite> Test Report`.
--reportbackground colors Background colors to use in the report file.
Either `all_passed:critical_passed:failed` or
`passed:failed`. Both color names and codes work.
Examples: --reportbackground green:yellow:red
--reportbackground #00E:#E00
-L --loglevel level Threshold level for logging. Available levels: TRACE,
DEBUG, INFO (default), WARN, NONE (no logging). Use
syntax `LOGLEVEL:DEFAULT` to define the default
visible log level in log files.
Examples: --loglevel DEBUG
--loglevel DEBUG:INFO
--suitestatlevel level How many levels to show in `Statistics by Suite`
in log and report. By default all suite levels are
shown. Example: --suitestatlevel 3
--tagstatinclude tag * Include only matching tags in `Statistics by Tag`
and `Test Details` in log and report. By default all
tags set in test cases are shown. Given `tag` can
also be a simple pattern (see e.g. --test).
--tagstatexclude tag * Exclude matching tags from `Statistics by Tag` and
`Test Details`. This option can be used with
--tagstatinclude similarly as --exclude is used with
--include.
--tagstatcombine tags:name * Create combined statistics based on tags.
These statistics are added into `Statistics by Tag`
and matching tests into `Test Details`. If optional
`name` is not given, name of the combined tag is got
from the specified tags. Tags are combined using the
rules explained in --include.
Examples: --tagstatcombine requirement-*
--tagstatcombine tag1ANDtag2:My_name
--tagdoc pattern:doc * Add documentation to tags matching given pattern.
Documentation is shown in `Test Details` and also as
a tooltip in `Statistics by Tag`. Pattern can contain
characters `*` (matches anything) and `?` (matches
any char). Documentation can contain formatting
similarly as with --doc option.
Examples: --tagdoc mytag:My_documentation
--tagdoc regression:*See*_http://info.html
--tagdoc owner-*:Original_author
--tagstatlink pattern:link:title * Add external links into `Statistics by
Tag`. Pattern can contain characters `*` (matches
anything) and `?` (matches any char). Characters
matching to wildcard expressions can be used in link
and title with syntax %N, where N is index of the
match (starting from 1). In title underscores are
automatically converted to spaces.
Examples: --tagstatlink mytag:http://my.domain:Link
--tagstatlink bug-*:http://tracker/id=%1:Bug_Tracker
--removekeywords all|passed|for|wuks|name:<pattern> * Remove keyword data
from the generated log file. Keywords containing
warnings are not removed except in `all` mode.
all: remove data from all keywords
passed: remove data only from keywords in passed
test cases and suites
for: remove passed iterations from for loops
wuks: remove all but the last failing keyword
inside `BuiltIn.Wait Until Keyword Succeeds`
name:<pattern>: remove data from keywords that match
the given pattern. The pattern is matched
against the full name of the keyword (e.g.
'MyLib.Keyword', 'resource.Second Keyword'),
is case, space, and underscore insensitive,
and may contain `*` and `?` as wildcards.
Examples: --removekeywords name:Lib.HugeKw
--removekeywords name:myresource.*
--flattenkeywords for|foritem|name:<pattern> * Flattens matching keywords
in the generated log file. Matching keywords get all
log messages from their child keywords and children
are discarded otherwise.
for: flatten for loops fully
foritem: flatten individual for loop iterations
name:<pattern>: flatten matched keywords using same
matching rules as with
`--removekeywords name:<pattern>`
--listener class * A class for monitoring test execution. Gets
notifications e.g. when a test case starts and ends.
Arguments to listener class can be given after class
name, using colon as separator. For example:
--listener MyListenerClass:arg1:arg2
--warnonskippedfiles If this option is used, skipped test data files will
cause a warning that is visible in the console output
and the log file. By default skipped files only cause
an info level syslog message.
--nostatusrc Sets the return code to zero regardless of failures
in test cases. Error codes are returned normally.
--runemptysuite Executes tests also if the top level test suite is
empty. Useful e.g. with --include/--exclude when it
is not an error that no test matches the condition.
--dryrun Verifies test data and runs tests so that library
keywords are not executed.
--exitonfailure Stops test execution if any critical test fails.
--exitonerror Stops test execution if any error occurs when parsing
test data, importing libraries, and so on.
--skipteardownonexit Causes teardowns to be skipped if test execution is
stopped prematurely.
--randomize all|suites|tests|none Randomizes the test execution order.
all: randomizes both suites and tests
suites: randomizes suites
tests: randomizes tests
none: no randomization (default)
Use syntax `VALUE:SEED` to give a custom random seed.
The seed must be an integer.
Examples: --randomize all
--randomize tests:1234
--runmode mode * Deprecated in version 2.8. Use individual options
--dryrun, --exitonfailure, --skipteardownonexit, or
--randomize instead.
-W --monitorwidth chars Width of the monitor output. Default is 78.
-C --monitorcolors auto|on|ansi|off Use colors on console output or not.
auto: use colors when output not redirected (default)
on: always use colors
ansi: like `on` but use ANSI colors also on Windows
off: disable colors altogether
Note that colors do not work with Jython on Windows.
-K --monitormarkers auto|on|off Show `.` (success) or `F` (failure) on
console when top level keywords in test cases end.
Values have same semantics as with --monitorcolors.
-P --pythonpath path * Additional locations (directories, ZIPs, JARs) where
to search test libraries from when they are imported.
Multiple paths can be given by separating them with a
colon (`:`) or using this option several times. Given
path can also be a glob pattern matching multiple
paths but then it normally must be escaped or quoted.
Examples:
--pythonpath libs/
--pythonpath /opt/testlibs:mylibs.zip:yourlibs
-E star:STAR -P lib/STAR.jar -P mylib.jar
-E --escape what:with * Escape characters which are problematic in console.
`what` is the name of the character to escape and
`with` is the string to escape it with. Note that
all given arguments, incl. data sources, are escaped
so escape characters ought to be selected carefully.
Available escapes: amp (&), apos ('), at (@), bslash
(\), colon (:), comma (,), curly1 ({), curly2 (}),
dollar ($), exclam (!), gt (>), hash (#), lt (<),
paren1 ((), paren2 ()), percent (%), pipe (|), quest
(?), quot ("), semic (;), slash (/), space ( ),
square1 ([), square2 (]), star (*)
Examples:
--escape space:_ --metadata X:Value_with_spaces
-E space:SP -E quot:Q -v var:QhelloSPworldQ
-A --argumentfile path * Text file to read more arguments from. Use special
path `STDIN` to read contents from the standard input
stream. File can have both options and data sources
one per line. Contents do not need to be escaped but
spaces in the beginning and end of lines are removed.
Empty lines and lines starting with a hash character
(#) are ignored.
Example file:
| --include regression
| --name Regression Tests
| # This is a comment line
| my_tests.html
| path/to/test/directory/
Examples:
--argumentfile argfile.txt --argumentfile STDIN
-h -? --help Print usage instructions.
--version Print version information.
Options that are marked with an asterisk (*) can be specified multiple times.
For example, `--test first --test third` selects test cases with name `first`
and `third`. If other options are given multiple times, the last value is used.
Long option format is case-insensitive. For example, --SuiteStatLevel is
equivalent to but easier to read than --suitestatlevel. Long options can
also be shortened as long as they are unique. For example, `--logti Title`
works while `--lo log.html` does not because the former matches only --logtitle
but the latter matches --log, --loglevel and --logtitle.
Environment Variables
=====================
ROBOT_OPTIONS Space separated list of default options to be placed
in front of any explicit options on the command line.
ROBOT_SYSLOG_FILE Path to a file where Robot Framework writes internal
information about parsing test case files and running
tests. Can be useful when debugging problems. If not
set, or set to special value `NONE`, writing to the
syslog file is disabled.
