New issue 589 by c.martin.taylor: ROBOT_LIBRARY_SCOPE = "GLOBAL" is ignored
in RF 2.5
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=589
I have a proprietary Robot Framework extension library that sets the
property
ROBOT_LIBRARY_SCOPE = "GLOBAL"
In Robot Framework 2.1.3 this worked fine. The library was initialized once
and then reused by each successive suite folder, suite and test.
In Robot Framework 2.5 the scope property seems to be ignored and the
library is completely re-initialized for each suite folder and suite file.
It calls the library's __init__ method and, as it uses the dynamic
interface, RF calls its get_keyword_names, get_keyword_arguments, etc. as
it traverses each suite folder and file.
