Jenkins上的自动化机器人测试

Question

When I want to run my tests on Jenkins I can define which workflow I want.

When committing my test to gitlab i define a commit message, and to that message I add this :

 runTest=testsuites/someFolder/someWorkflow.robot

What I am wondering is if it is possible to select a certain test from that workflow to execute ? Currently all of test from it will run, and it takes a lot time.

Check Robot user guide for selecting suites and testcases based on names,tags and patterns: http://robotframework.org/robotframework/latest/RobotFrameworkUserGuide.html#selecting-test-cases

Options --suites and --tests are those which you could use.

If you are uncertain, create simple suite with multiple tests and execute it from favorite IDE (RED,RIDE,PyCharm) to check the command and parameters.
