Comment #13 on issue 177 by [email protected]: Listener interface
should be able to alter keyword, test and suite status
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=177
Instead of passing in a dictionary that the listener can modify, can the
listener interface pass in the actual suite, test or keyword object? Once
we have that, that paves the way to add methods in those classes to control
execution. For example, test.fail("killed by the listener") could be called
to cause a test to fail.
If the objects had public methods to get at their parent, I could do
something like `kw.test.fail("listener caused the test to fail")` and
`kw.test.suite.fail("listener caused the entire suite to fail")`
The code to pass in the raw objects is trivial, and I would be happy to
provide a patch. It's really no more than adding a few more lines to each
method in listeners.py, for example:
def end_suite(self, suite):
...
if li.version == 1:
li.call_method(li.end_suite, suite.status,
suite.get_full_message())
elif li.version == 3:
li.call_method(li.end_suite, suite)
...
