Robot Framework's library for creating and running DevOps tasks easily and efficiently.

Project description

robotframework-roboops

Robot Framework's library for creating, sharing and running DevOps tasks easily and efficiently.

Building pipelines with Robot Framework gives developers clear insight what CI/CD steps do (thanks to keyword based syntax). Allow them to execute pipelines easily also on their own machines before pushing to repository and waiting for CI/CD tool to take it up.

Thanks to nice RFWK reporting it should be easy and fast to follow pipelines and investigate issues.


Primarly designed for testers/developers who use Robot Framework. They often create own python libraries and must maintain them.

But it's not limited only to that - you can automate any stuff with it - with syntax you know and reports you love.

Features

  • uses robotframework for running tasks - see all the benefits of robotframework
    • one that brings a lot of benefits are report and log files
  • keyword for running commands
  • keyword for linking artifacts into report metadata
  • any failure makes remaining tasks to fail automatically (skip)
  • others to come - raise your idea!

Installation instructions

pip install robotframework-roboops

Usage

RoboOps is typical Robotframework library - use it as usual robot library.

As this library is mainly focused on running tasks instead of tests, try to use *** Tasks *** instead of *** Test Cases *** in .robot files.

This repository uses RoboOps for building, testing (and in future deploying) itself. See ci.robot file to see example how to do it.

This repository uses github actions - check this out to see how to use it in CI pipeline.

Example

*** Settings ***
Library    RoboOps
Library    OperatingSystem

*** Variables ***
${atest dir}     ${CURDIR}/atest    
&{install python env}    command=poetry install
&{unit tests}    command=poetry run coverage run --source=RoboOps -m pytest .
&{report coverage}    command=poetry run coverage report -m --fail-under=80
&{generate wheel}    command=poetry build
&{remove stale roboops package from atest env}    command=poetry remove robotframework-roboops    cwd=${atest dir}    ignore_rc=True
&{install atest env}    command=poetry install    cwd=${atest dir}   
&{install atest roboops package from whl}    command=poetry add ../    cwd=${atest dir}

*** Tasks ***
Unit Test Stage
    Roboops Run Command    &{install python env}
    Roboops Run Command    &{unit tests}
    Create Coverage Report And Save It
    
Build Package Stage
    Roboops Run Command    &{generate wheel}
    
Acceptance Test Stage
    Roboops Run Command    &{remove stale roboops package from atest env}
    Roboops Run Command    &{install atest env}
    Roboops Run Command    &{install atest roboops package from whl}
    Roboops Run Command    &{run atests}
    [Teardown]    Save Acceptance Tests Artifacts

*** Keywords ***
Create Coverage Report And Save It
    ${coverage}    Roboops Run Command    &{report coverage}
    Create File    coverage.log    ${coverage.stdout.decode()}
    Roboops Save File Artifact    coverage.log    coverage.log

Save Acceptance Tests Artifacts
    Roboops Save File Artifact    ${atest dir}/log.html    atest_log.html
    Roboops Save File Artifact    ${atest dir}/report.html    atest_report.html
    Roboops Save File Artifact    ${atest dir}/output.xml    atest_output.xml

Running tests

Test everything (unit tests, acceptance tests, building wheel) by running:

robot ci.robot

running pipeline with docker (using python 3.6)

build docker image and run it:

docker build -t roboops:latest .
docker run --user $(id -u):$(id -g) --rm -v "${PWD}":/code --env PYTHONPATH=. roboops:latest

Security considerations

Be aware that secrets provided in environment variables may be logged by Task (e.g. with Log keyword).

So don't provide secrets into steps where .robot file is executed for commits without any reviewers approval.
