How can i run robot test cases without ride using test suite

I am new to robot framework and wanted to see if i can run test cases without RIDE. I want to create test suite and run test cases sequentially without using RIDE. I went through documentation but could not understand it.

Ex: Test Suite

Test Case 1 Test Case 2 Test Case 3

i would like to put my references to all my resource files to test suite and run all test cases. I can do this using RIDE but wanted to know if i can do this without using it. Do i need to create batch file to do this or any other method to run? Any example will help me. Thank you for advance.

When you install robot, you also installed a program called robot (or pybot in older versions), which is the official robot test runner.

If you have a test suite named "my_tests.robot", you can open up a command prompt (bash on *nix, powershell or command.exe on windows) and type the following command (assuming that robot is in your PATH environment variable, which it probably is):

$ robot my_tests.robot

If you have a collection of suites in a folder, you can give pybot the name of the folder rather than the name of a test file.

To see a list of all robot command line options, use the --help option:

$ robot --help

For more information see Starting test execution in the robot framework users guide.

  1. Show the path of test suite

    exmp: Location of my 'catiav6' test script_
    cd C:\Users....\Desktop\catiav6

  2. Run following command from cmd
    For single test case:
    pybot --test 'Name_of_single_test_case' 'Name_of_test_suite'
    For all test cases:
    pybot --test * 'Name_of_test_suite'
