RobotFramework-TestsuitesManagement 0.11.0

Functionality to manage Robot Framework testsuites

RobotFramework_TestsuitesManagement allows users to define dynamic configuration values in separate JSON configuration files.

These configuration values are accessible during test execution, but only under conditions specified by the user (e.g., for variant handling). This means that not all parameter values are available during test execution - only those relevant to the current test scenario.

To achieve this, RobotFramework_TestsuitesManagement offers the following features:

• Splits all possible configuration values into multiple JSON configuration files, with each file containing a specific set of configuration parameters.

• Supports nested imports of JSON configuration files.

• Subsequent definitions in configuration files overwrite previous definitions of the same parameter.

• Provides various criteria for selecting which JSON configuration file Robot Framework should use during test execution.

How to install

The RobotFramework_TestsuitesManagement can be installed in two different ways.

1. Installation via PyPi (recommended for users)

   pip install RobotFramework_TestsuitesManagement

   RobotFramework_TestsuitesManagement in PyPi

2. Installation via GitHub (recommended for developers)

   • Clone the robotframework-testsuitesmanagement repository to your machine

     git clone https://github.com/test-fullautomation/robotframework-testsuitesmanagement.git

     RobotFramework_TestsuitesManagement in GitHub

   • Use the following command to install RobotFramework_TestsuitesManagement (executed in repository main folder):

     python -m pip install .

     Or:

     python -m pip install --proxy <proxy> .

     This command will also download and install all dependencies that are required to work with the source files in the current repository. After the initial installation of RobotFramework_TestsuitesManagement is done, you have the following two possibilities:

     1. Clean the previous installation:

        python "./cleanup_installation.py"

        cleanup_installation.py explicitly deletes all files and folders within the component installation folder under site-packages and also deletes local build artefacts.

     2. Render the component documentation:

        python "./genpackagedoc.py"

        This would e.g. be required in case of changes in the interface of RobotFramework_TestsuitesManagement.

        The documentation is rendered by a separate application called GenPackageDoc, that is part of the build dependencies and runtime dependencies of RobotFramework_TestsuitesManagement.

        GenPackageDoc needs to be configured. Details about how to do this, can be found in the README.rst (sections Install dependencies and Configure dependencies).

   • Use the following command to build RobotFramework_TestsuitesManagement (executed in repository main folder):

     python -m build .

     Or:

     python -m pip config set global.proxy <proxy>
     python -m build .
