Robot framework - How to read suite name, test case name along with skip message from report.html

Question

I am using "Robot Framework" for my automation testing, if I am facing any functional issues as part of my Automation script execution, I will create a defect and skip that test case by giving the defect number as a skip message( Skip Defect#001 ). Until that defect is resolved, the affected test script is skipped.

Example:

*** Settings ***
Library    SeleniumLibrary
Library    BuiltIn


*** Test Cases ***
Custom auto scenarios1
    Skip   Defect_001
    Log   Test1

Custom auto scenarios2
    Log   Test2

Custom auto scenarios3
    Log   Test3

Custom auto scenarios4
    Skip   Defect_002
    Log   Test4

report.html

I have a requirement where I need to retrieve the following information from report.html

1. Skip message ( Defect_001 & Defect_002 )
2. Skipped Test Case Name ( Custom auto scenarios1 & Custom auto scenarios4 )
3. Skipped test available Suite name ( Demo )

Can you please tell me how to retrieve these from report.html

Answer 1

You need use robot API and operate on output.xml file.

from robot.api import ExecutionResult, ResultVisitor

class Collector(ResultVisitor):

    def visit_test(self, test):
        if test.skipped:
            print(test.name, test.message, test.parent.name)

es = ExecutionResult("output.xml")
collector = Collector()
es.visit(collector)
