In robot framework, it looks like it logs messages for keywords like "=" by default with 'INFO' log level. Ex:
<Test case>
${xyz} = "hello"
Would log message with:
'INFO': ${xyz} = "hello"
I would like to lower the log level for this to 'DEBUG' or 'TRACE' but can't seem to find it in the source code.
An advice for this?
Have you tried to execute the test bringing the whole execution to a deeper level "DEBUG" or "TRACE" adding this -L trace or -L debug to your test call. robot -L trace mytest.robot for instance.
Also, you can set your log level in the code. Like this:
Test Setup Set Log Level TRACE
Then in the log.html file, a visible log level dropdown is shown in the upper right corner. This allows users to remove messages below the chosen level from the view. This can be useful especially when running tests at the TRACE level.
for more information see: http://robotframework.org/robotframework/latest/RobotFrameworkUserGuide.html#visible-log-level
Source code defined like this
def log(self, message, level='INFO', html=False, console=False,
repr=False, formatter='str'):
u"""Logs the given message with the given level.
Valid levels are TRACE, DEBUG, INFO (default), HTML, WARN, and ERROR.
Messages below the current active log level are ignored. See
`Set Log Level` keyword and ``--loglevel`` command line option
for more details about setting the level.
usage example
Log you message:{message} level=DEBUG

How do I find out if a variable has been defined in my Robot Framework script? I am doing API testing, not UI testing. I have a complex set up and tear-down sequence and, since I am interacting with multiple computers through the script, it is important to know the current state if a fatal error has occurred. I could track what I have done with some complex set of meta variables or a variable tracking list, but I would prefer to query if a particular variable has been defined and if so take the appropriate tear-down steps.
A simplified version is something like:
*** Test Cases ***
Check monitor
${monitored}= Connect to Monitor ${Monitor IP Address} ${User name} ${password}
${peer connected}= Connect to Monitor ${Peer IP Address} ${User name} ${password}
Get Information from Monitor ${IP Address}
Send Info to Peer ${buffer1}
Report back to Monitor ${Monitor IP Address}
We are assuming that the tear-down closes the connections. I want to close any connections that are open, but if I failed to open the peer connection I will close the monitor connection and fail on closing the monitor connection.
I am trying to determine if ${peer connected} is defined. Can I look into Robot Framework's variable storage to see if it is there (in that dictionary?)?
You can call Get Variables to get a dictionary of all variables, then check whether the variable you're interested in is in the dictionary.
*** Test cases ***
Example
${foo}= set variable hello, world
${variables}= Get variables
Should be true "\${foo}" in $variables
Should not be true "\${bar}" in $variables
There a pretty straightforward approach - the built-in keyword Get Variable Value returns python's None (by default) if there is no such variable defined:
${the var}= Get Variable Value ${peer connected}
${is set}= Set Variable If """${the var}""" != 'None' ${True} ${False}
I am fine with this approach. In case the variable is not defined, the test case does not fail....
${variables} Get variables
${status} Run Keyword And Return Status Evaluate $new_table in $variables
${new_table} Set variable if ${status}==${FALSE} new_tbl ${new_table}
Also possible is:
${variables} Get Variables
IF "\${dataPluginVersion}" in "${variables}"
No Operation
ELSE
${dataPluginVersion} Set Variable 0
END
Or:
${variables} Get Variables
IF not "\${dataPluginVersion}" in "${variables}"
${dataPluginVersion} Set Variable 0
END
A shorter way:
OEM-T01-99-Test-variables
[Tags] TEST
Variable Should Not Exist \${TESTDEVICE_SSH_CONNECTION}
Variable Should Exist \${TEST_NAME}
This method is more readable and less verbose than using "Get Variables" keyword, IMHO

I would like to use value from keyword 1 to keyword 2. Tried searching on net but i could not able to solve it.
Verify that apps are listed
wait until element is visible ${AppMenuGrid} ${Timeout} "Apps NOT listed. Step execution failed"
log "Apps listed"
${APPSCOUNT} = GET ELEMENT COUNT ${AppMenuGrid}
log "Number of apps loaded are ${APPSCOUNT}"
[Return] ${APPSCOUNT}
Click on Refresh button
wait until element is visible ${Refresh} ${Timeout} "Refresh button is not visible"
click element ${Refresh}
log "click on refresh button successful"
Verify that same apps are listed
wait until element is visible ${AppMenuGrid} ${Timeout} "Apps list not refreshed. Step execution failed"
log "Apps list refreshed"
${APPSRECOUNT} = GET ELEMENT COUNT ${AppMenuGrid}
${Count} = verify that apps are listed ${APPSCOUNT}
log "Number of apps before refresh ${Count}"
log "Number of apps after refresh ${APPSRECOUNT}"
run keyword if "${APPSRECOUNT}" == "${Count}" log "Number of apps matching after refresh"
... ELSE fail "All apps not loaded after refresh"
I want to use AppsCount value (ex .10) from keyword "Verify that apps are listed" into "Verify that same apps are listed" keyword. But in the 2nd keyword, APPSCOUNT value is always blank.
Change the keyword Verify that same apps are listed to accept arguments:
Verify that same apps are listed
[Arguments] ${expected appscount}
# the rest of its code
And then, in the case where it's used, pass the value from the first keyword:
A case
${the count}= Verify that apps are listed
Verify that same apps are listed ${the count}
I agree with Todor Minakov's approach, to share the value via return clauses. Here is another approach:
Robot Framework (as described in the User Guide) has notion of variable scope: Local (Keyword) level, Test case level, Test suite level and Global. By default, the variables defined in the keywords have local scope.
To share the value of the variable between two keywords, just add a test case scope to the variable, like this:
Verify that apps are listed
wait until element is visible ${AppMenuGrid} ${Timeout} "Apps NOT listed. Step execution failed"
log "Apps listed"
${APPSCOUNT} = GET ELEMENT COUNT ${AppMenuGrid}
Set Test Variable ${APPSCOUNT}
Then, you can call ${APPSCOUNT} inside any other keyword in the same test case and it will have the stored value.
i tried the following and it worked.
In the test case file, i added a variables with the same name ${APPSCOUNT} and set the variables to the keyword like below,
Verify that apps are listed ${APPSCOUNT}
After this i can see value from keyword 1 in keyword 2.
Is this the correct approach?
Firefox has console log limits that can be configured to my understanding, but I'm thinking the IE11 console also has a limit on the number of messages it logs before it fails and stops logging.
I was wondering why my later log messages were not showing up in the log and I would see console warning text of "An error has occurred in the JavaScript Console. Functionality might be affected." when there was no error logged.
So I stuck a simple loop to generate a bunch of log messages to the console.
var li=0;
for (li=0; li<500; ++li) console.log("li %d", li);
console.info("Finished with list of log entries.");
Along with the other informational console log messages I had (6 others) the list ended at 499, so I bumped up the cutoff to 5000:
var li=0;
for (li=0; li<5000; ++li) console.log("li %d", li);
console.info("Finished with list of log entries.");
Now the logging ends at "li 994" as the last line.
The "Finished..." line doesn't even display.
Looking up the console to see how many messages were displayed, I see there are 6 others, not of the "li xxx" type.
So it appears that IE11 has a console limit of 1,000 entries and the stops logging and fails.
Can someone confirm and is there a way to set that limit higher?
My javascript code does some array processing and there is a lot of array dumping of data that goes on. I'm using console groups and they work, but when the entire logging shuts down after the 1000th message, that is a huge problem.
I am writing a custom library for robot framework in python. I don't want to use builtin library for some reasons.
My python code :
import os
import re
output = "IP address is 1.1.1.1"
def find_ip():
cmd = 'ipconfig'
output = os.popen(cmd).read()
match1 = re.findall('.* (1.1.1.1).*',output)
mat1 = ['1.1.1.1']
if match1 == mat1:
print "PASS"
In the above program I have written python function to :
Execute a windows command "ipconfig"
Written regular expression to match 1.1.1.1
create a list variable, mat1 = ['1.1.1.1']
Now I want to put condition like, if "match1" and "mat1" are equal my TEST should PASS. else it should fail in Robot framework.
Any one please give idea on how to write python function for this purpose?
Please note I dont want to use "Should Match Regexp" keyword in Robot Framework. Because I know it will do the same whatever I am asking.
To make a keyword pass, you don't need to do anything except return normally to the caller. To fail, you need to raise an exception:
def find_ip():
...
if match1 != mat1:
raise Exception('expected the matches to be similar; they are not")
This is documented in the robot user guide in the section Returning Keyword Status:
Reporting keyword status is done simply using exceptions. If an
executed method raises an exception, the keyword status is FAIL, and
if it returns normally, the status is PASS.
The error message shown in logs, reports and the console is created
from the exception type and its message. With generic exceptions (for
example, AssertionError, Exception, and RuntimeError), only the
exception message is used, and with others, the message is created in
the format ExceptionType: Actual message.
Once an assertion fails( typically API response ), the remaining test steps in a test case do not get executed. How do I get SoapUI to continue on and complete the rest of the test steps?
I am also looking for a way to retry that step again with the same set of data. If not possible, skip that and proceed to next set of items. Any idea on this ?
1- Double click on the test case (not test step)
look at the provided picture and find the one shown below:
To continue tests executing after failed test step you need disable "Fail on error" option in TestCase options.
To control test execution flow you can use "Conditional Goto" test step (the easiest way) or "Groovy script" test step if you need more complex logic.
Detailed instructions here: http://www.soapui.org/Functional-Testing/controlling-flow.html
In Ready Api (Soapui pro) right click on Test Case and click on Option.
Abort test if an error occurs (Disable)
In SOAPUI free version you can go to the test case and click on the gear or settings icon which opens up a pop up and uncheck the option "Abort test if error occurs"
