robot framework output and result file path & name configuration

I'm using robot framework with eclipse to test the scripts. Every time I run a test it overwrites old result and output file. How & what configuration must be done in eclipse that instead of overwriting the output & result file, it always generates a new output & result files?

This is achievable by command line but i want to know how it can be configured in eclipse

if you want to configure it using eclipse.

  1. right click red.xml
  2. click run as configurations
  3. type in 'Additional Robotframework arguments' --timestampoutputs --log mylog.html --report NONE tests.robot

The names of the generated statistics files are controlled with these command line options:

  • --output, for the detailed xml file which default name is "output.xml",

  • --report, for the summary html file which default name is "report.html",

  • --log, for the detailed html file which default name is "log.html".

On top of that, there is an option -T or --timestamp, which when used will put a time stamp in the file's name, just before the extension.
With it the file will be called (as an example) "output-20080604-163225.xml" - which looks like precisely what you're looking for.
