How to skip test cases execution if first test case fail in robot framework

I am running multiple test cases (within a test suite) in robot framework. If the first test case setup section fails, then I want to skip the execution of all the remaining test cases.

Please let me know if there is any way to do that?

I sort of made my own way to do this using test setup & teardown. All tests that use this setup will still run. But any test AFTER the first failure will be skipped.

*** Settings ***
Test Setup      pre check with skip read
Test Teardown    post check with suite abort

*** Variables ***
${continue}    1

*** Keywords ****
pre check with skip read
 Skip If   ${continue} != 1   msg=Skipping due to previous failure

post check with suite abort
 [Documentation]   Any test after this can be skipped if this test fails!
 Run Keyword If Test Failed   Set Suite Variable   ${continue}   0

There is currently no way to skip some tests depending on the failure of a given test. That might be implemented in the future as it is being discussed in an issue on GitHub.

In the meantime, what you can do is have a suite that groups your tests and in the Suite Setup, do some initial checks/verification (that would be similar to the test failure you mention). If the Suite Setup fails, then the tests of the suite won't be run.

Until a SKIP status is implemented, you can use exitonfailure to stop further execution if a critical test failed, and then change the output.xml (and the tests results.html) to show those tests as "NOT_RUN" (gray color), rather than "FAIL" (red color):

enter image description here

I've already posted how to implement it here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/55745118/658497

There is a command line option for this, the option is "--exitonfailure" Here if any critical test case fails, the test execution stops immediately.
