Parallel Robot Framework runner: Pabot v 0.2 Released

[Mikko Korpela]

Hello all!

I've released a new version of pabot tool.

The enhancement in this version is that now the intermediate results from all the executions are stored to a specific location (normally in a directory pabot_results and if --outputdir is defined then to a pabot_results folder under it).

This allows user to better debug and see what the situation is during test execution and in cases where the real test execution needs to be terminated for some reason.

Pabot can be installed from PyPi with "pip install -U robotframework-pabot".

All comments and feedback is very welcome!

Pabot tool homepage is currently in github: https://github.com/mkorpela/pabot

The issue tracker of the tool is also located there.

HI Mikko,

It would be really helpful and useful if you can provide some support to run it using Maven or other build tool just like we have robot-framework maven plugin.

Olz let me know whenever you have something like that.

Really great work.Highly appreciable.

Thanks

Hi!
I have some problem to run test with pybot.

I have Python 3.3
Pabot 0.22

Looks like I have wrong PATH, because I try different python version..(

How can I run script with full path to file?
 I just want to run example from https://github.com/mkorpela/pabot

CMD:

C:\Python33\python.exe C:\Python33\Lib\site-packages\pabot\pabot.py D:\Example\test.robot
  File "C:\Python33\Lib\site-packages\pabot\pabot.py", line 152
    print "get_suite_names: output_file='%s' does not exist" % output_file
                                                           ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Pabot doesn't seem to be Python 3 compatible. Please submit an issue about it to Pabot's tracker if there isn't one already. Mikko would probably appreciate pull requests too.

Before Pabot supports Python 3, you need to use Python 2.7.

We can see that even if you installed pabot in Python3, it does  not work because of different syntax from Python 2.7.

You could try to fix your own install by replacing all "print" statements by "print()" functions.

In your error example it could be:
print("get_suite_names: output_file='{0}' does not exist".format(output_file))

I have asked Mikko about Python 3. He said Pabot works ok with it.

[Hélio Guilherme]

I have just installed pabot in Python 3.4 and fails:
[helio@localhost pabot]$ pabot --help
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/pabot", line 3, in <module>
    from pabot.pabot import main
  File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/pabot/pabot.py", line 152

    print "get_suite_names: output_file='%s' does not exist" % output_file
                                                           ^

SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'

My installation is:

[helio@localhost pabot]$ pip3 list
(...)
requests (2.9.1)
robotframework (3.0)
robotframework-pabot (0.22)
robotframework-selenium2library (1.7.4)
robotremoteserver (1.0.1)

(...)

Hi 

I am able to run testsuites in parallel using pabot with python27

Is there any option to execute test cases in parallel

For eg if a suite or a robot file has 10 test cases , can we execute these 10 cases parallelly
