Repeating test cases
sasha
I have to run a set of test cases in a loop over the weekend, to check
for memory leaks.
Is there a way to do it?
Thanks,
alex.

Thanks for your response.

poster, and for readers of this thread. I'm not sure data driven
approach is best method to take for looping tests.
When reading the posters question, I interpreted it like this:
Run my usual test RF test suite (may be written as keyword driven,
behavior driven, data driven), but now I want to run it X times or run
it indefinitely until I manually terminate RF execution. So basically,
after RF finishes running test suite, run again and maybe increment
run #. And put all the test iterations into single test report (if
possible).
So is something like that achievable with current version of RF? I'm
still new to RF. I know some frameworks have support for that but not
all do. If not, then there are two approaches that I see:
1. Build new test suite (can't use current one "as is"), converting
current one into data driven type test suite that will be repeating
the test case for X data scenarios, matching the desired X executions.
2. Wrap RF around an external simple framework, like a batch file or
shell/Jython/Python script where you pass it a parameter like run test
X times or run indefinite. This script will then externally launch RF
with given test suite and at end of test run, if runtime counter not
equal to X or if run indefinite, relaunch RF again. Best implemented
with a while loop, etc. in the script.
In my opinion, I prefer option 2 above. Though that means someone has
to put together the simple script to do that.

That's how understood the question too.

This is possible but your log files could grow quite big. If you want
to try, using Test Template functionality with for loops makes this
pretty easy, although understanding the test requires quire a bit
advanced Robot knowledge:
***TestCase***
Example
[Template] Log
:FOR ${i} IN RANGE 100
\ Running round ${i}

I prefer this option too. Keeping logic required for orchestrating
test execution is generally better kept outside the test data.
