Comment #6 on issue 101 by bryan.oakley: Tool for pausing the test execution
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=101
Has any work been started on this? This may be something I try to tackle
for our own
use but I don't want to duplicate any work that has already been started.
My thinking is, there needs to be a debug interface similar to (but I
suggest
separate from) the listener interface. If I run pybot/jybot with an
argument of
--debugport=1234, pybot/jybot opens up a connection on that port. A tool
(RIDE
plugin?) could then also open up that port and act like a debugger.
There could be an API for passing information back and forth. For example,
when a
suite is about to be run it could send a serialized version of the suite to
the tool
so it could display the tests about to be executed. A user could set a
breakpoint on
a test which would cause a message to be sent back to jybot/pybot
saying "pause
before running test X". Or, prior to running a test, suite or keyword,
pybot/jybot
could ask the client "is it ok to run this test?" Test execution would
pause until
the client sends back an ack.
