New issue 1279 by Marcin.Koperski: New Keyword "Wait For Process To
Terminate" for Operation System Library
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=1279
I would be nice to have keyword in Operation system, which will allow to
easily wait for process to wait , optionally kill it
Keyword would have following arguments
${process name}
${Timeout}
${Force Kill}=${false}
example implementation for windows
:FOR ${i} IN RANGE ${iteration}
${output} Run tasklist /FI "IMAGENAME eq ${process name}" /FO
CSV
${count} Get Count ${output} ${process name}
Run Keyword If ${count} < 1 Exit For Loop
Run Keyword If '${TRUE}'=='${Force Kill}' Run Keyword If ${count} > 0 Log
Force kill process ${process name} WARN
Run Keyword If '${TRUE}'=='${Force Kill}' Run Keyword If ${count} > 0 Run
taskkill /F /T /IM ${process name}
