robotframework-dashboard 0.2.6

Output processor and dashboard generator for Robot Framework output files

Robot Framework Dashboard

Overview

The Robot Framework Dashboard is a tool for Robot Framework that provides insight of your test results across multiple runs. The tool makes use of the built in Robot Framework Result Visitor API to analyse output.xml files, stores these in a simple sqlite3 database and finally creates a HTML dashboard that makes use of Chart.js and Datatables for the graphs and tables and makes use of Bootstrap for styling.

Command Line Features

When running the tool the following steps will be executed

1. Database preparation creates robot_results.db or specified database if it does not yet exist and connects to it
2. Optionally reads test execution result from 1 or more output XML file(s) and uploads to the database
3. Optionally lists all runs currently available in the database, ordered by the time they were entered
4. Optionally removes run(s) specified by run_date or index of being added
5. Optionally generates a dashboard HTML file that can be used to look at the stored results

Installation

1. Install Robot Framework 6.0.0 or higher (if not already installed):
2. Install Robot Framework Dashboard

Usage

Run robotdashboard through the command line to initialize your database and generate the report:

robotdashboard -o output.xml

For detailed command line options take a look at:

robotdashboard -h

or

robotdashboard --help

Advanced examples:

• Generate the report without adding new outputs

robotdashboard

• Add tags to your output.xmls

robotdashboard -o output1.xml:tag1 -o reports/output2.xml:tag1:tag2

• Do not list runs and/or do not create the dashboard HTML

robotdashboard -l false -g false

• Custom path/file name for your dashboard HTML

robotdashboard -n results/result_robot_dashboard.html

• Custom database path/file location

robotdashboard -d result_data/robot_result_database.db

• Remove data from the database, can be based on run number (index) or run start time

robotdashboard -r 0
robotdashboard -r -1 -r "2024-10-17 15:05:04.563559"
