I am trying to change the default report name (report.html) inside my test suite but can't find a way.
What are the different way to specify the report name ?
You should use the --report command line option (see User Guide.)
For example:
pybot --report myoutput.html mysuite.robot
will name your report myoutput.html instead of the default output.html

In Robot Framework, when you create a custom keyword using the *** Keyword *** section of .robot file, is there a way to print an INFO message in the log file? I've tried using BuiltIn.Log keyword, but it creates a new keyword section where the INFO is written.
I want to get INFO in custom keyword this way:
Info in Keyword execution
But currently, my only option is: Info inside BuiltIn.Log definition
Is there a way to add INFO directly to my custom keyword without using Python API?
Did you try Log to console Typing text ${User} into text field 'username' like this?
To my knowledge what you are attempting, is unfortunately not doable. This way of embedding messages can be done by the robot.logger or Python's logging api - More info in the Robot Framework User Guide
However in addition to using the Log keyword, you may alleviate the need by first adding a documentation string on your keywords - the first line is always shown in the Documentation section of the keyword. Additionally by enabling Trace on the log file you'll get at least the Arguments and Return values shown on each keyword.
The Documentation is added with the [Documentation] tag similar to
Custom Keyword
[Documentation] This string is shown completely until I leave at least
... One empty row.
...
... This is shown only in the library documentation file.
And logging modes are changed with a launch option -L or --loglevel, to enable Trace mode, simply add the option when launching your robot.
robot -t TestName -s SuiteName -L TRACE .\Path\to\Tests
I am using IBM DiffMerge to generate a Report that shows all differences between two .cls files or .sbs files. I was playing with it and I saw that there is a filed in option menu that allows you to change the format of the report, but it implies some keywords, like $elemname to print the element's name or $elemtype to print its type $leftonly or $rightonly which show how many differences are in the left diagram or in the right one.
Now, I was wondering if there are more variables like those above, especially one that can print a component's GUID (unique ID in Rhapsody).
Thanks,
Daniel
I would expect that $GUID will give you what you're looking for.
Under the ReporterPlus installation folder there is a folder named Templates. In it you'll find a file named DiffReport.dpl which you can load it into ReporterPlus for editing like any other template. You must run Rep+ with a command line option so that it loads with the Diffmerge specific schema:
Reporter.exe /mode=dfm
After that you can load the Diffmerge template, and edit it to customize the output of DiffMerge reports. When you do, try adding $GUID into the output.

When I run test cases from RIDE the reports are saved in the below path.
C:\Windows\Temp\RIDExf4xla.d
I want save reports in specific path. Can I do this from RIDE? Is there any setting to change the reports location?
Can anyone please suggest the way to do it.
Thanks
Look at the --outputdir command within the Robot Framework Documentation:
Here is what I use:
--outputdir C:/Robot/AutomationLogs/etc/etc --timestampoutputs
You use this one liner on the "Arguments" Field, right on the top of RIDE within the run tab.
From Wamans comment you can add formats to the end of the argument, to also change the dir name dynamically. See the 2nd answer within that SO question. This should be enough for you to get what you're asking for.
There is no way to set this within a UI.
Just set it by pasting that argument option within the "Arguments" Field at the top.
use below code in command line
C:\Tests\> robot -d C:\Test_results Test.robot
I created multiple suites, say 'StarterKit Registration','White SIM Registration', 'Add VAS' ..etc.,
I want to run all these suites together through RIDE and I want to run in my own order i.e not in alphabatical order.
Can any one help on this to achieve.
Thanks
Sarada
You can either use prefixes to suite names as mentioned before.
Or
as you said, Use -A arguments file which will have list of your test suites
Agr_sample.txt
------------------
StarterKit Registration
White SIM Registration
Add VAS
... so on
then pass the same argument file while triggering the pybot command as
pybot -A Agr_sample.txt
It will trigger the suites in the order they are mentioned in the file.
Hope it helps! and thanks for telling me about argument file :)
I need to customize the HTML report generated at the end of test execution.
Few things I require are:
Remove the table - Statistics by Tags as I am not using any tags
Add the version number for the SUT in the summary section of the report.
What solutions are there for this? I tried to change the robot code and also tried to work on the output.xml. But nothing worked.
There is no facility provided by robot to customize the report and log files, as far as adding or removing sections is concerned. You have two options:
write your own report generator that converts output.xml into a format you like, or
create a fork of the robot framework source code and make the modifications there.
For the case of putting the version number for the SUT in the summary section of the report, you can add that with the --metadata command line option:
pybot --meta "SUT version: 1.2.3" ...
That will add the version to the summary section. You can also use the Documentation setting or the --doc command line option to put information that will appear in the report summary.
If you aren't using tags, you should! Those are one of the best features of the framework. You can create tags during a test run, so you could have your tests define a "sut version" tag and set it to the version of the system being tested.
