New issue 357 by [email protected]: After interrupting a robot run
(ctrl-c) I would like to see the results anyway
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=357
We have very many long lasting robot test runs. We typically have to run
them as part of our regression before committing changes. There very often
the following situation occurs: We expect the tests to be green, but during
its run we see some test case(s) to be red as we monitor the console where
we started robot. Now we would like to interrupt the test run (e.g.
pressing ctrl-c) without loosing the test result.
Currently, we have to wait for the test run to complete to analyse the
results.
Yes, I know, after interruption we have the (incomplete) output.xml file,
put it is very hard to analyse.
And yes, I know, there is that exit-on-failure flag that can be passed when
calling robot, but to be honest -- I always forget to pass it (as I said
earlier, as I expect the test to be green).
I think this request is simple to implement - we did the same for our PET
framework. I do not expect to immediately interrupt the test run. I would
allow the currently executed test case to finish. As robot then has the
control again, it could easily react on the situation (and e.g. set the
same flag that already exists for the exit-on-failure feature).
