如何在机器人框架的套件设置中“运行关键字 if tag="debug"”

Question

I am new to Robot Framework. I have a .robot file which has 5 test cases where i have defined tags fro each of them. ie 3 of the test cases has [tags] debug and two of the test cases has [tags] preprod

Now i have a suite setup and suite teardown where for those test cases which has tags debug will perform certain steps and for tag preprod doesnt not require same steps to be performed

For Ex :

*** Settings ***

Suite Setup         Run Keywords
...                 Connect To DB  AND
...                 Create An Employee

Suite Teardown      Run Keywords
...                 Delete DB entries  AND
...                 Disconnect From DB

*** Test Cases ***
TC1
    [Tags]  Debug
    log to console  Test1

TC2 
    [Tags]  Debug
    log to console  Test2

TC3 
    [Tags]  Debug
    log to console  Test3

TC4 
    [Tags]  preprod
    log to console  Test4

TC5 
    [Tags]  preprod
    log to console  Test4

Now TC4 and TC5 does not require to perform Create An Employee in suite setup and Delete DB entries in suite teardown

How to implement if the test case has a tag=Debug perform steps in suite setup and suite teardown

Answer 1

The suite setup is run once before any of the tests start. It is impossible to have it do something different for each test.

If you want to perform some action for each test, you need to use a test setup . For example, here is a keyword that will log different strings if the test has a "Debug" or "preprod" tag:

*** Settings ***
Test Setup  Perform logging

*** Keywords ***
Perform logging
    run keyword if  'Debug' in $test_tags
    ...    log  this test has a debug tag
    run keyword if  'preprod' in $test_tags
    ...    log  this is preprod  WARN

Answer 2

In continuation with Bryan answer. You need to understand that a Test Setup defined in settings section will be applicable to all the test cases.

as a result for both Debug and preprod tags , you are getting the same Test setup executed.

In short, you want different test set up based on Tags.

To achieve this you need to use custom keywords of same name ie Test Setup in the test cases where you intend to have specific tags.

Here is an example to do the same.

*** Settings ***
Test Setup  log to console  parent test setup
*** Test Cases ***
TC1
    [Tags]  Debug
    log to console  Test1
    ${success} =  Run Keyword and Return Status  Submit The Job      #Code will not switch to next keyword untill this keyword return the satus as True or False
    log  ${success}
    wait until keyword succeeds  2x  200ms  Submit The Job     #This Kw will run the KW 2 times if  KW fails   while waiting 200ms after each result

TC2
    [Tags]  production
    [Setup]  Test Setup  #this is your custom KW, which will overwrite Test Setup
    log to console  Test1
    ${success} =  Run Keyword and Return Status  Submit The Job      #Code will not switch to next keyword untill this keyword return the satus as True or False
    log  ${success}
    wait until keyword succeeds  2x  200ms  Submit The Job     #This Kw will run the KW 2 times if  KW fails   while waiting 200ms after each result

*** Keywords ***
Submit The Job
    Sleep  10s
Test Setup
    log to console  child setup

Now coming to your last point , you can use -e ie exclude option in tags to run specific test case

so the command will be

robot -i "Debug" -e "production" sample_tc.robot

This will execute only first TC, ie TC1
