机器人框架标记测试为预期失败或 XFAIL

Question

Is there a way to mark a test as XFAIL in robot framework? I would like to execute the tests and if they have a defect tag associated with them I would like to mark them as XFAIL.

Is it possible to implement this using ResultWriter or any other module.

Answer 1

I found this as a workaround that seems to be acceptable: Add this to your test case:

# REMOVE WHEN FIXED!
Pass execution
...  This test fails and is a known bug! (add bug ref here)
...  Known Bugs

This way known bugs are forced to pass but are tagged as "Known Bugs" and are visible in the run log.

If having support for multiple test case statuses is important, have a look at the Robot Framework plugin for generating XML files that are compatible with the Allure reports. Have a look here for an example report .

In the Allure reporting there are 5 statuses (Failed, Broken, Cancelled, Pending and Passed) in addition to 5 severity statuses (Blocker, Critical, Normal, Minor & Trivial). As Robot doesn't support these statuses a lookup is done on the set tags and based on those it determines the Allure Status and Severity.

In case Allure Report plugin doesn't work for you, perhaps you can use it's approach to generate a log file of your own through Robot Listener functionality . This is a set of predefined events that you can create a class for. Log Message and Message being two of particular interest to you.

The other one is a recently released project Robot Background logger that extends the standard logger class of Robotframework. This should provide some control over the formatting of the message.
