There should be a possibility to rerun failed DataDriven tests.

Stage 1: run robot with a list of failed tests:
robot --variable DYNAMICTESTS:suitename.testcase1|suitename.testcase4|suite2name.testcase2 mytests

The Variable DYNAMICTESTS may contain a list of test cases "|" (pipe) seperated.
Only test cases that matches one of these names will be executed.

Stage 2:
Create a PreRunModifier that fills the variable DYNAMICTESTS with failed Datadriven tests and deletes all passed testcases from the test model before execution.

I get this error message in the log file when I use DataDriver along with Browser library:

Error in library 'Browser': Calling method '_close' of listener 'Browser' failed: failed to connect to all addresses

I did not get a stack trace because the error does not interfere with test execution (yet). It is just displayed in the log file. My browser lib version is 1.3.0 and my DataDriver version is 0.3.3.

Since v1.3 Pabot uses new parsing API and does not do DryRuns anymore.
Due to this interaction between Pabot and DataDriver needs to be updated.

Related to https://forum.robotframework.org/t/compatibility-of-pabot-1-3-with-datadriver-0-4-0/102

When datadriver creates variables, they are not available to the set up keyword. I am not sure if that's because the variables are scoped locally, or because the variables are not instantiated until after set up runs.

Many of our test needs require us to set up data in a DB in a specific format, and data-driver would be a perfect tool for this if we could pass datadriver variables to the set-up keyword.

As it stands now, we have to write every test manually and pass parameters to the [Set Up] keywords for every test and are not able to use robotframework-datadriver when [Set Up] is not completely identical in every case.

When upgraded to RF 4.0, getting this error 'keywords' attribute is read-only and deprecated since RF 4.0. Use 'body', 'setup', or 'teardown' instead.
The issue might be raised from _start_suite() method from DataDriver class.

Can this be fixed?
The changes required might be mentioned over here #3749

I have installed Robotframework, using Python2.7 on a linux machine. I have try to re-execute the failed test cases using this command 'robot --prerunmodifier DataDriver.rerunfailed:output.xml --output rerun.xml'. I am getting the following error,

Importing model modifier 'DataDriver.rerunfailed' failed: Module 'DataDriver' does not contain 'rerunfailed'.

If file_search_strategy is omitted from the parameter, an exception is raised. The file_search_strategy is however not relevant in most (if not all) cases where a reader_class is defined, since the reader_class performs all logic.

Hello,

Pytest allows dynamically marking parameterized test as skipped, which has the benefit to clearly show which tests were skipped in the output.

There doesn't seem to be a way to do this with DataDriver, hence I'm opening this feature request (as requested on #datadriver in Slack)

Thank you!

Hello,
I have tried to execute my data-driven(xlsx) test case (25 processes) using this guidence. When I try to run pabot --testlevelsplit --pabotlib (...) open the same test case 12 times, I hoped it would divide the 25 processes in the xlsx file into 12.
I have made mistake somewhere or no way to run data-driven(xlsx) cases in parallel.
Thanks in advance.

Having an issue with test filtering logic when trying to use both --include and --exclude options.

Using this dummy suite:

*** Settings ***
Documentation     Foo 1

Library           DataDriver
...    reader_class=tests\\foodriver\\foo_reader.py

Test Template    Foo Template

And custom driver:

from DataDriver.ReaderConfig import TestCaseData


class foo_reader(AbstractReaderClass):

    def get_data_from_source(self):
        return self._read_file_to_data_table()

    def _read_file_to_data_table(self):
        test_data = []
        flipflop = True
        for i in range(6):
            args = {'${fooarg}': i}
            tags = ["flop"]
            if flipflop:
                tags = ["flip"]
                flipflop = False
            else:
                flipflop = True
            test_data.append(TestCaseData(f"Test {i}", args, tags))
        return test_data

robot --include default --include flipORflop tests\foodriver -> 6 cases
robot --include default --include flip tests\foodriver -> 3 cases
robot --include default --exclude flip tests\foodriver -> 0 cases (expected 3)
robot --include default --exclude NOTflip tests\foodriver -> 0 cases (expected 3)

(seems to be working similarly also when 'default' is forced)

Hello,

I'm using Robot Framework 3.2.1 (Python 3.7.7 on win32) with robotframework-datadriver Version: 0.3.6.
With this 0.3.6 version, I set the force Tags for test.robot file with Tag_1 and Tag_2, in the Excel data-driven table, I marked some lines with Tag_1 and some line with Tag_2.
When run the test.robot file with command
robot -e Tag_1 -i Tag_2 test.robot
It failed to show that
It contains no tests matching tag 'Tag_2' and not matching tag 'Tag_1'.

So how can I run the lines with marked Tag_2?

BTW, if we want to upgrade robotframework-datadriver to newer version with still keep using Robotframework 3.2.1, which version can I use?

Thanks in advance

I'm using xlsx as data sources and would like to remove the variable pattern as current. If we can remove $ or @ so it will be more friendly with manual tester and the old files they had.
I love your lib but we need to improve more so the community can use easily.

When update to robotFW 4.XX expected?

I want to create a custom reader, which is located within my sources.
Therefore it would be neat to be able to pass an absolut path to the DataDriver settings and tell it where my custom reader is.
See push request #13

I have this very simple Robot Test which uses an Excel sheet (datadriver.xlsx) as data source:

*** Settings ***
Library         DataDriver   file=datadriver.xlsx
Test Template	DataDriver Demo Test Main

*** Variables ***
${JSON_BODY}	${EMPTY}

*** Test Cases ***
DataDriver Demo Test Call '${API_CALL}'
	[Documentation]	Run the test cases for method ${API_CALL}

*** Keywords ***
DataDriver Demo Test Main
	[arguments]    ${API_CALL}  ${VAR1}  ${VAR2}
	Run Keyword  DataDriver_Demo_Test_${API_CALL}  ${API_CALL}  ${VAR1}  ${VAR2}

DataDriver_Demo_Test_Call_One
	[arguments]    ${API_CALL}   ${VAR1}  ${VAR2}
	Log To Console		Call One

DataDriver_Demo_Test_Call_Two
	[arguments]    ${API_CALL}   ${VAR1}  ${VAR2}
	Log To Console		Call Two

The Excel text file contains multiple tags per test case.

RF recognises these tags and lists them correctly in the test's associated report file.

However, if I try to run a single test based on its tags value, the test cannot be found.

C:\Test_Cases\interneTestsAPI\DataDriver_Tag_Test>robot -i world_domination datadriver.robot
[ ERROR ] Suite 'Datadriver' contains no tests matching tag 'world domination'.

Try --help for usage information.

C:\Test_Cases\interneTestsAPI\DataDriver_Tag_Test>

My assumption is that this is a limitation with the Excel input file digestion as the -i option is triggered before you can actually examine the Excel input file and get the tags from there. I have consulted this article but can't really see an error with my code. Am I missing something here?

Robot framework has TEST STATUS variable which is set to current status of test case. This variable is available in non template test cases (without using data driver) but when tests are run using data driver, this variable is not available.

*** Settings ***

Variable '${TEST STATUS}' not found. Did you mean:

I have rerun my test suite with the following command with a DevOps pipeline

robot --prerunmodifier DataDriver.rerunfailed:'$(Build.SourcesDirectory)/output.xml' --output rerun2output.xml --variable BROWSER:headlesschrome --variable DEVICE:Desktop '$(Build.SourcesDirectory)/testsuites/.'

I get the following error:
[ ERROR ] Importing model modifier 'DataDriver.rerunfailed' failed: Model modifier 'rerunfailed' expected 1 argument, got 2.

Instead of re-running only the failed tests, the whole suite is re-run then.

I don't understand the meaning of the error message. What is interpreted as the 2nd argument in my command line?

Hello,

With the latest update I'm having issue to rerun failed test cases in parallel with pabot.

I have an Excel sheet that contains 450 test cases and I'm using Datadriver in my robot file with:
Library DataDriver file=MyFile.xlsx sheet_name=Test cases optimize_pabot=Atomic

Here is the way I am launching it:

First run:
pabot.exe --testlevelsplit --pabotlib --pabotlibhost %PABOT_HOST% --pabotlibport %PABOT_PORT% --processes 40 -d %RESULTDIR% -o orig.xml -l orig_log.html -r orig_report.html -e %RF_EX_TAGS% %TESTS_FILE_PATH%

Everything runs in parallel but the outcome I have several failures (50/450 test cases) so I want to retry those 50 failed one but in parallel as well therefore I'm using:

pabot.exe --testlevelsplit --pabotlib --pabotlibhost %PABOT_HOST% --pabotlibport %PABOT_PORT% --processes 40 -d %RESULTDIR%/ -o rerun.xml -l rerun_log.html -r rerun_report.html -e %RF_EX_TAGS% --prerunmodifier DataDriver.rerunfailed;%RESULTDIR%/orig.xml %TESTS_FILE_PATH%

The outcome of the rerun is that it's running one by one the failed test cases and not in parallel :(

Am I doing it wrong for the rerun?

Thanks

Subclassing DataDriver when there is a need to use a custom reader_class is somewhat cumbersome at the moment since the init of DataDriver will try to resolve the reader_class based on filename. This can be improved by allowing AbstractReaderClass subclasses to be passed as the reader_class argument and having DataDriver check for subclass before trying to import the module from file path.

We have a requirement where our data driver file gets generated at suite setup with random name. Is it possible to provide data driver file with random name in suite setup?

I have recently tried out your Data driver library with excel and its working like charm and it’s really a great solution for many people including me who relays on data driven testing a lot.
The Data source that I use is dictionaries and not excel. I was wondering Data driven Library can help me to sort this problem. I am reaching out to you since I couldn’t find any documentation of data driver with dictionary.
Given below is a sample program format that we are using internally if you can share some insight it would be a great help.

As a robotframework-datadriver user I want to fetch data from specific sheet within my workbook so that I can organize my data in single workbook

Päivi K Jun 11th at 7:22 AM

What is the expected behavior of --exclude with the datadriver (v 1.2.0)?

I have dummy suite with 6 cases generated by a custom reader, half tagged 'flip' and half 'flop' by the reader. Additionally the suite has default tag 'default'.
So when I execute
robot --include default --include flip dummysuite
the 3 cases tagged 'flip' get executed (as I expected).
But when trying to
robot --include default --exclude flip dummysuite
this results in
[ ERROR ] Suite 'dummysuite' contains no tests after model modifiers.
(while I was expecting this would result in the execution of the 'flop' cases)
Same result also with
robot --include default --exclude NOTflop dummysuite

René 9 hours ago

Hi,
I think because you have included default, but default is not added to these test cases in your datareader.
Just --exclude flip should work.
Because --include default explicitly limit the tests to those who have default attached.
The tests in the end however do have the default tag. but not at the time the list is filtered.
Not sure how this would affect existing implementations in the field, if i change that…

Empty cells are read as list with single-entry empty string [ '' ], not as empty list [ ].
Is this behavior intended and is it possible to create an empty list without using python literals?

Behavior tested with xls and csv input with both v1.2.0 and v1.3.0.

CSV to reproduce:

*** Test Cases ***;@{list1};e{list2}
CheckList1;not,empty,list;['not','empty','list']
CheckList2;;[]

Hi Rene,

I'm using RoboCloud Editor "Robocode Lab".

The basic example doesn't seem to work.

1. I have to define the Template Keyword before the section Test Cases, or when running the robot complains it cannot find such keyword.

2. It raises an exception when declaring the DataDriver Library, however I can get away by not declaring it, which seems a bit odd not having to declare the Library under settings.

3. It skips the first argument

Please see attachments

Thanks,
Daniel

Hi,

When run with test case simple like below

*** Settings ***
Library DataDriver data1.xlsx
Test Template Invalid Login

*** Test Case ***
Login with ${user}

*** Keywords ***
Invalid login
[Arguments] ${user}
Log ${user.password}

get error like

[ ERROR ] Calling method '_start_suite' of listener 'DataDriver' failed: ImportError: Pandas requires version '2.5.7' or newer of 'openpyxl' (version '2.5.1' currently installed).

what is means ?

Just imagine having to type this:

robot --variable "DYNAMICTESTS:MyDataDrivenTestSuiteWithParticularlyLongName.0101|MyDataDrivenTestSuiteWithParticularlyLongName.0102|MyDataDrivenTestSuiteWithParticularlyLongName.0103" MyDataDrivenTestSuiteWithParticularlyLongName.robot

Yeah you can copy'n'paste, but in a real world example you would want to copy'n'paste the test names as well, and having to insert the suite name in between test names is cumbersome (and in the frequent case that one specifies a single robot file on the command line, it's also redundant).

I think it would be great if the test suite part were optional.

I'd be willing to contribute a pull request.

How can I correct this error, I am having problems to run a robot file using DataDriver

[ ERROR ] Calling method '_start_suite' of listener 'DataDriver' failed: FileNotFoundError: File attribute was not a full path. Tried to find D:\a\1\s./private.csv but file does not exist.

Adding to this issue tracker as well since I'm not sure which library is causing the issue. Issue on pabot mkorpela/pabot#262

pabot is not parallelizing tests with DataDriver when using a custom data reader. The tests are all created by DataDriver and are successfully executed but sequentially. I put together a simple test project. Directory structure:

• resources
  • py3
    • test
      • datareader
        • customreader.py
        • simplemodule.py
• robot
  • cases.xlsx
  • test.robot

Contents of customreader.py (Direct copy of the XLSX reader in DataDriver).

from test.datareader.simplemodule import aSillyFunction
from DataDriver.AbstractReaderClass import AbstractReaderClass
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

class customreader(AbstractReaderClass):

    def get_data_from_source(self):
        data_frame = pd.read_excel(self.file, sheet_name=self.sheet_name, dtype=str).replace(np.nan, '', regex=True)
        self._analyse_header(list(data_frame))
        for row in data_frame.values.tolist():
            self._read_data_from_table(row)
        return self.data_table

Contents of simplemodule.py

def aSillyFunction(x):
    return 2*x

Contents of test.robot

*** Settings ***
Library       DataDriver  file=cases.xlsx  reader_class=../resources/py3/test/datareader/customreader.py

Test Template  Run Test

*** Test Cases ***
Dummy Run Test  ${x1}  ${x2}   ${1}  ${1}

*** Keywords ***

    ${x1}  convert to number  ${x1}
    ${x2}  convert to number  ${x2}
    should be equal  ${x1}  ${x2}

Running with:
pabot --processes 3 --testlevelsplit --pythonpath ../resources/py3 test.robot

Now, if we change the import in customreader.py from:

from test.datareader.simplemodule import aSillyFunction
to
from simplemodule import aSillyFunction
pabot will parallelize the tests. Switching the import back though causes pabot to execute all tests sequentially again.
Note that we need to remove .pabotsuitenames after running with the full module path import and switching.

Hello. Could someone please tell me how to escape commas in dict variables?

I have dict varibale in xlsx file like below:

&{expected_message}
code=1,message=Date is a required field, but was not found...

Already tried adding ,\ or \\ before comma yet still getting error like

Invalid dictionary variable item "but was not found..."

Thank you

This is used by the test runner under atest/run_atest.sh.

Stumbled on this problem. Task/Test Teardown works on DataDriver version 1.0.0 but on the newer ones. Using RF version 3.2.2.
Attached is a sample test and log.html's for executions.

Teardown works if you add it to the Task/Test Template keyword.
datadriver.zip

Same thing as in #41

Scenario : In a single test case file, If we have two test cases and we have maintained test data for these two test cases in two separate sheets of same .xlsx file and we want to use sheet-1 in test-case-1 and sheet-2 in test-case2.

Question : Is it possible using data-driver?

I import resource file contains keywords, and want to use it as a test template.

however, I found that it can only get the keyword from current testsuite.

    def _get_template_keyword(self, suite):
        template = self.template_test.template
        if template:
            for keyword in suite.resource.keywords:
                if self._is_same_keyword(keyword.name, template):
                    return keyword
        raise AttributeError('No "Test Template" keyword found for first test case.')

suite.resource.keywords only get the current testsuite keyword.

can robotframework-datadriver support to use external keyword as template ?

tl;dr: is there a way to apply a datadriver Excel input file's cell format to the variable's format that is conveyed to the robot test?

Moin René,

first of all let me say that my users love the option of providing test data via Excel sheets. Great job with designing the datadriver library. There is however an issue that I have not yet found a solution for - maybe, you have an idea on how to solve this issue.

My main use case for using the data driver are API tests. Read: I have tons of potential input parameters which I expose to the users via an excel sheet.

• The end user populates all required parameters (read: Excel cells).
• My Robot script checks on a test-specific basis which of the test-specific cells are populated.
• If the cell is populated, its value is then added to a Robot dictionary
• That dictionary is later on converted to a JSON object which then is sent to my API.

This whole process works like a charm. However, there is an edge case which I need to cover but have not yet found a viable solution for:

Some of the APIs that I use require numeric content to be provided as string data: Read: my Excel cell will contain a value of e.g. 3 but I need to add the STRING value of "3" to the robot dictionary so that when it gets converted to the final JSON object.

Let's assume that I have a data driver Excel input file which contains two variable columns with just one row of data:

${VAR1} --> numeric value of 1
${VAR2} --> string value of 2 (e.g. cell's format was set to string,  Input was '2 in order to enforce string format)

When I check the data type 'the Python way', both variable's data types are returned as 'string':

Check Variable Type New
   [Arguments]   ${object}
   ${VARTYPE}=   Evaluate  type($object).__name__
   [Return]      ${VARTYPE}

This crude yet somewhat effective approach does work for most cases but the one in question:

Check Variable Type
    [Arguments]    ${object}
 
    Return From Keyword If        not "${object}"  NONE  ${EMPTY}

    ${result}  ${number_value}=   Run Keyword And Ignore Error   Convert To Number  ${object}
    ${isnumber}=  Run Keyword And Return Status  Should Be Equal As Strings  ${object}  ${number_value}

    ${result}  ${integer_value}=  Run Keyword And Ignore Error   Convert To Integer  ${object}
    ${isinteger}=  Run Keyword And Return Status  Should Be Equal As Strings  ${object}  ${integer_value}

    ${result}  ${bool_value}=     Run Keyword And Ignore Error    Convert To Boolean    ${object}
    ${isbool}=  Run Keyword And Return Status   Should Be Equal As Strings  ${object}  ${bool_value}

    Return From Keyword If        ${isnumber}   NUMBER        ${number_value}
    Return From Keyword If        ${isinteger}    INTEGER       ${integer_value}
    Return From Keyword If        ${isbool}        BOOLEAN       ${bool_value}
    Return From Keyword                                    STRING        ${object}                       

If this crude detection is applied, both variable's values are not detected as string but as integer - which is correct for the first case but not desired for the 2nd case where that value's format was set to 'string'

Q: apart from detecting these edge cases' formats with the help of e.g. leading format descriptors in the cell's value, is there any way for the data driver to get the cell's format based on its Excel formatting - and then return that cell's value in its respective format?

Note that this does not only affect numeric data types but also boolean types. E.g.

TRUE (as boolean) and
'TRUE (as string)

are both conveyed to the Robot Test via data driver with a 'string' data type

I have found that if I create a CSV file with a single column, headed e.g. ${key_id}, then it works like a charm. But if the CSV file contains multiple columns separated by commas, the whole line is read as a single value, leaving the ${key_id} undefined. I have even tried explicitly specifying the delimiter as a comma. The documentation (https://pypi.org/project/robotframework-datadriver/#structure-of-data-file) states that the first column must be named *** Test Cases *** and this is what I did, but I wonder whether that is actually what is confusing DataDriver? That heading doesn't look like a Robot variable.

Hello,

I have realised that in current version Test Teardown using Data driver Library is not working. Can you please take a look if it is an issue ?

Regards,

In my CSV/XLS file I have a column with name ${data.value} and the value for the testcases should always be an integer.
I tried to put in the number without RF Syntax (e.g. 12) and with RF syntax for int (e.g. ${12}).
In both cases the value is handled as string, this is the case for CSV and Excel files as well.
Log ${data} => {'value': '12}
Log ${data} => {'value': '${12}'}

I would expect in the second case: {'value': 12}

After update to robotframework_datadriver-1.1.1 and robotframework 4.0 I get an error message when I try to use DYNAMICTESTS command line variable.
If I run the robot file without DYNAMICTESTS argument every test case will run correctly.

I attach a simple test.robot and test.csv which can be used to reproduce the problem.
test.zip

python3 -m robot --variable 'DYNAMICTESTS:Test.test1' test.robot

It fails like so, due to the different capitalization used:

The current issue is that it is not clear what happens with tags of the template test to all generated tests.

Options:

• The Tags of the template test could be added to all tests.
• No Tags of template is added to all tests.
• only Tags that are not used in the data source are added...

:-/

I thought I saw in tutorials that DataDriver would pick up test case names from the CSV file, but that doesn't seem to be happening for me. The tests are definitely running, and the [Documentation] data is being picked up. Here is my setup:

I've been a long time using python 2.7 with robot framework, now I have to make an DDT automation, so I want to use this library, but its incompatible with my python version. Could you make a compatible version?

[ ERROR ] Calling method '_start_suite' of listener 'DataDriver' failed: FileNotFoundError: File attribute was empty. Tried to find D:\test-data\exel-test\login-test01.csv but file does not exist. If no file validation is required, set file_search_strategy=None.

please help me. thanks

When re-executing a test suite with a --prerunmodifier DataDriver.rerunfailed I see that it executes again all the tests if there are no failures in the original execution.

look at the attached 7zip file

When executing run_has_failure.bat I see that only the failed test is executed in the second and third attempt.
However, when executing run_all_passes.bat, the three passed tests are executed again in the two reruns.

This causes massive overheads in the execution of test pipelines.

I tried it with windows 10 pro and python version 3.7.4.
Versions of robotframework and robotframework-datadriver are in the requirements.txt file in the zip.

Note, I also tried it with robotframework-datadriver version 1.0.0 and got similar results.

I am trying to setup data driver and am getting the below error
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement robotframework-datadriver (from versions: none)

And I tried to search for this problem a lot and I couldn't resolve it, the below are the packages and python version what I have
Python 3.9.6
pip 21.1.3
robotframework 3.2.2
robotframework-databaselibrary 1.2.4

Hello.

I have a testObjectA.robot file with reading 1000 different parameters in a excel file, and it works very well with the robotframework-datadriver module by generate 1000 test cases.
Currently, we have to test the testObjectA.robot with 10 different pre-configuration. The way that we can do is add one column in the excel file for the 10 different configuration and copy & paste the 1000 parameters 10 times in excel file to generate 1000*10 test cases.

This way seems very low efficient and not easy to maintenance. Is any any better way than copy&past test parameters for the 10 different pre-configuration?

Thanks

Hello,

The robotframework-datadriver is very helpful to generate test cases when reading different configuration params from .xlsx file.

With using the robotframework-datadriver and when some test cases failed. I want to retest the failed test cases.
The command: robot -R output.xml Test.robot will fail as it can't parse the failed test cases due to the test case is newly generated by robotframework datadriver.

So How can we retest the failed test cases when using the robotframework datadriver?

Since version 0.3.1 my datadriver testcases are not being executed properly. The tests do not fail, they pass whilst simply not being executed. The strange thing is, DataDriver seems to run properly and even sees the testcases but is just skipping them.
