How to get System Name and System Information in the Robot Framework

Hi .

 How to get System Name and System Information in the Robot Framework, while running the scripts.

I had Local desktop and Azure Machine which i had running the scripts in 2 different machines. In Reports i need those system details which will clarify the Machines details.

Thanks

Regards,

I think if you have 2 different systems then is worth to create Python keyword which will return you an informations (i.e. as map), which you requires https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3103178/how-to-get-the-system-info-with-python

This is exactly how I do it.  I have a Keyword that is run by Suite Setup that puts this info in the run documentation:

Set Test Run Documentation

| | Set Suite Documentation | API System Test run                   | append=False | top=True |

| | Set Suite Documentation | \| *Version:* ${HOST VERSION}         | append=True  | top=True |

| | Set Suite Documentation | \| *GUI Version:* ${HOST GUI VERSION} | append=True  | top=True |

| | Set Suite Documentation | \| *Name:* ${HOST DEVICE NAME}        | append=True  | top=True |

| | Set Suite Documentation | \| *Type:* ${HOST DEVICE TYPE}        | append=True  | top=True |

| | Set Suite Documentation | \| *Platform:* ${HOST PLATFORM}       | append=True  | top=True |

| | Set Suite Documentation | \| *FW Type:* ${HOST FIRMWARE}        | append=True  | top=True |

| | Set Suite Documentation | \| *Hostname:* ${HOST HOSTNAME}       | append=True  | top=True |

| | Set Suite Documentation | \| *IPv4:* ${DUTHOST}                 | append=True  | top=True |

| | Set Suite Documentation | \| *MAC:* ${HOST DEVICE MAC}          | append=True  | top=True |

| | Set Suite Documentation | \| *ID:* ${HOST SERIAL NUMBER}        | append=True  | top=True |

| | Set Suite Documentation | \| *Lang:* ${HOST DEFAULT LANG}       | append=True  | top=True |

| | Set Suite Documentation | \| *Units:* ${HOST UNITS}             | append=True  | top=True |

| | Set Suite Documentation | \| *Start uptime:* ${HOST DUT UPTIME} | append=True  | top=True |

I have a Keyword that makes an api call to set all the vars listed above.

Instead of using `Set Suite Documentation`, it might be better to use
`Set Suite Metadata`.

This is one of the things I love about your Framework, Peke.  There is so much functionality one can often discover a new gem. 

I wrote my KW above 3 years ago when first started with RF.  And while the KW gives a compacted section of info, Set Suite Metadata is much better suited to some of the info I have to report.

Cheers, Paul.

Thanks for the compliments! Remember also that there are --doc and
--metadata options to set these values from the command line as well.

Cheers,
