Comment #10 on issue 59 by pekka.klarck: Support capturing stdout and
stderr when running Robot and Rebot programmatically
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=59
This is embarrassing. After a little bit investigation we realized that
implementing this feature is very simple and does not require larger
changes planned for running APIs (issue 826).
This will be implemented so that both robot.run and robot.rebot methods
accept stdout and stderr as keyword arguments. They must be open file
objects and StringIO works fine:
from robot import run
with open('output.txt', 'w') as output:
run('tests.txt', stdout=output, stderr=output)
This issue has been open for ages as a defect but I change this now to
enhancement.
