REG:How can i print the output of Run process keyword while execution itself

[supriya s]

I want to print the output of Run Process keyword

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    ${output}=    Run Process    D:\\Alert\\stack.bat    alias=myproc    stdout=True    stderr=D:\\Alert\\error.txt

    ${stdout} =    Get Process Result    myproc    stdout=true

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

By using "Get Process Result" it is printing the output after completing the process.But i want to print the output of steps while execution itself.

Could you please help me to print while executing the process

Hi Supriya,

https://robotframework.org/robotframework/latest/libraries/Process.html#Get%20Process%20Result

I'm not sure what you are trying to achieve, but you cannot get a processes return code until that process has exited, this would be an expected result, see this test case, the "Getting results of unfinished processes is not supported" is expected to fail when calling Get Process Result on itself

https://github.com/robotframework/robotframework/blob/master/atest/testdata/standard_libraries/process/get_process_result.robot

Perhaps what you are after is one of the Automatic Variables like ${SUITE STATUS} or ${TEST STATUS}:

https://robotframework.org/robotframework/latest/RobotFrameworkUserGuide.html#automatic-variables

Note though that those variables are only available in teardown, so you would need to create a keyword to do the steps you are wanting and call it via a generic Test Teardown in *** Settings ****  or [Teardown] in your test.

Hope that helps,

Dave.

In code executing batch file by using "Run Process" keyword is flashing the code.This consumes 4 min time.Usually while flashing the code it prints sequence of steps.

Here by using "Get Process result" it is printing the output in console window ,once after finishing the execution of batch file completely.

But i want the output to print parallelly at the time of execution.Is there any keyword that supports printing output in console window at parallel time execution.

I ran something like this and it recorded command window output under stdout.txt:

Start Process     run.bat   shell=True  stdout=..//results//stdout.txt

[shivarajkumar poojar]

Start Process     cmd.bat   shell=True  stdout=..//results//stdout.txt
