Renaming logs and reports in Robot Framework

Question

I know that it's not possible to add or remove sections in a Report for Robot Framework, but I wonder if it's possible to change the name of the Report from the Command Line.

So the reason for this is I have two Projects and they have the following folder structure

• Project A
  • Testsuites
  • Keywords
  • Variables

And I have the exact same Structure for Project B. Project A and Project B are in the same directory.

When I run multiple tests the Log/Report that appears becomes "Testsuites" Test Log, since that's the name of the Folder where it is.

I want to be able to change the name on the command line so on the log it becomes "Project A Test Log" or "Project B" Test log. Would it be something like this?

pybot ./testsuites AS Project A 

Answer 1

pybot has a --name option. From the user guide:

-N, --name Sets the name of the top-level test suite.

For slightly more information see http://robotframework.org/robotframework/latest/RobotFrameworkUserGuide.html#setting-the-name

Answer 2

I think that you could mark tests from different projects with different tags and than you could run different tests

pybot -i projectA -l projectA_log.html -r projectA_report.html ./testssuites 

or

pybot -i projectA -d projectA ./testssuites

Answer 3

There are two ways:

You can give names of output files as pybot parameters:

pybot ./testsuites -o A.xml -l A.log -r A.html -x A.xunit.xml

It might be more convinient to save all files in their own directories:

pybot ./testsuites -d A_files
