Quintagroup robotframework utils

Data file parser

Datafile library provides more convenient way to save some of your test data than robotframework variables tables do.

For example you have a file ‘users.rst’ where you save users accounts information:

**Accounts on site**

=========  ====  ========  =================
users      id    password  email
=========  ====  ========  =================
admin      Eric  passwr    eric@example.com
manager    Jonh  passwr    jonh@example.com
publisher  Olga  passwr    olga@example.com
reader     Jane  passwr    _table_:
\                          work; jane@work.com|
\                          pesonal; jane@pesonal.com
=========  ====  ========  =================

and in test case you can parse this file and access its data in the following manner:

*** Settings ***
Library         quintagroup.robotframework.datafile.rst

*** Test Cases ***
Attribute alike access
    ${users}=  Read tables from file  ${CURDIR}/users.rst
    Should Be Equal  ${users.admin.id}  Eric
    Should Be Equal  ${users.manager.email}  jonh@example.com
    Should Be Equal  ${users.reader.id}  Jane
    Should Be Equal As String  ${users.reader.email}  [['work', 'jane@work.com'], ['pesonal', 'jane@pesonal.com']]
    Should Be Equal As String  ${users.reader.email}[0]  ['work', 'jane@work.com']
