Declare dependencies between Robot Framework tests
Project description
Declare dependencies between tests.
Ideally tests are independent, but when tests depend on earlier tests, DependencyLibrary makes it easy to explicitly declare these dependencies and have tests that depend on each other do the right thing.
Versioning
This library’s version numbers follow the SemVer 2.0.0 specification.
Installation
pip install robotframework-dependencylibrary
Usage
First, include the library in your tests:
*** Settings ***
Library DependencyLibrary
Typical usage:
*** Test cases ***
Passing Test
No operation
A Test that Depends on "Passing Test"
Depends on test Passing Test
Log The rest of the keywords in this test will run as normal.
When you need to declare multiple dependencies, just repeat the keyword:
*** Test cases ***
Another Passing Test
No operation
A Test that Depends on Both "Passing Test" and "Another Passing Test"
Depends on test Passing Test
Depends on test Another Passing Test
Log The rest of the keywords in this test will run as normal.
You can also depend on the statuses of entire test suites:
*** Test cases ***
A Test that Depends on an Entire Test Suite Passing
Depends on suite Some Test Suite Name
Log The rest of the keywords will run if that whole suite passed.
Note that to depend on a suite or a test from another suite, you must either run Robot Framework with --listener DependencyLibrary, or that suite must also include DependencyLibrary in its *** Settings ***.
Skipped Dependencies
If a dependency was skipped, the depending test is also skipped:
*** Test cases ***
Skipped Test
Skip This test is skipped for some reason.
A Test that Depends on "Skipped Test"
Depends on test Skipped Test
Log The rest of the keywords (including this log) will NOT run!
The skip message follows this format:
Dependency not met: test case 'Skipped Test' was skipped.
Failing Dependencies
If a dependency failed, the depending test is skipped instead of redundantly failing as well:
*** Test cases ***
Failing Test
Fail This test failed for some reason.
A Test that Depends on "Failing Test"
Depends on test Failing Test
Log The rest of the keywords (including this log) will NOT run!
The skip message follows this format:
Dependency not met: test case 'Failing Test' failed.
Mistake Warnings
If you depend on a test or suite that does not exist or has not run yet,
*** Test cases ***
A Test that Depends on "Missing Test"
Depends on test Missing Test
the test will warn and the warning message follows this format:
Dependency not met: test case 'Missing Test' not found.
If you make a test depend on itself or on the suite that contains it,
*** Test cases ***
Depends on Self
Depends on test Depends on Self
the test will warn and the warning message follows this format:
Dependency not met: test case 'Depends on Self' mid-execution.
