Comment #2 on issue 377 by pekka.klarck: Don't convert test suite, test
case and keyword names unnecessarily
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=377
Another question we need to think about is what format of the name to use
in logs
(and elsewhere) when these keywords are used. The possibilities are:
1) Use the format that is set when the keyword is created. If we, for
example, create
user keyword 'An Example', the log file will show 'An Example' regardless
is the
keyword used as 'An example', 'anexample', etc.
2) Always use the format that is used in the data when the keyword is used.
If, for
example, a test case has keyword 'an example', that is shown in the log
regardless on
how the keyword is created. If the same, or different, test case then
uses 'AN
eXampLe' later, that format is used.
The main benefit of 1) is that logs are more consistent because one keyword
is always
used the same way. Then again with 2) logs are more consistent with the
data.
Personally I prefer 1) but this can still be discussed.
Currently we use approach 1) otherwise but keywords with embedded arguments
(issue
370) use 2). The latter is actually done as a workaround for name
conversions
explained in this issue (otherwise the keywords would always look like `My
Sentence
Like Keyword`). Changing the logic so that it works consistently regardless
the
keyword type is a part of fixing this issue.
