Comment #3 on issue 1278 by pekka.klarck: Exit For Loop doesn't work inside
Test Teardown.
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=1278
Confirmed the problem with the new example. Thanks.
Without looking the code, my guess is that the problem is due test
execution continuing after exceptions in teardowns. Exit For Loop uses a
special exception to communicate that execution of the for loop should end,
and obviously it should end always. Regardless is this a correct analysis,
this ought to be relatively easy to fix.
I was hoping there would be no RF 2.7.x releases anymore, and don't think
this alone is high priority bug to require it. There has been some other
reports too so most likely such a release is needed at some point this year.
