New issue 1014 by [email protected]: add suite type to listener
interface
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=1014
I would like the metadata sent with a "start_suite" listener event to
include the type of the suite -- either directory or file.
Use case: when graphically representing a running test, it would be nice to
place icons next to a running test or suite name. I would like to
distinguish between test suite directories (ie: a folder icon) and test
suite files (ie: a file icon).
I plan to use this feature with a listener that sends its data across a
socket to a client GUI. This client may not have physical access to the
actual test case file or directory so there's no way for it to query the
filesystem to see if the source is a file or a directory. The only way for
it to know is if the listener interface passes this information in.
