PrerunModifier disable specific keywords in setup or teardown using tags

[ashok s]

Hi all, 

I recently joined this group. I use Robot Framework for test automation in our team.

I came across this feature wherein we can disable Test Setup, Test Teardown etc using prerunmodifier and disable.py script. 

This disables the whole Setup/Teardown. Say if I have multiple keywords under a single master test setup keyword.

Is it possible to ignore specific keywords in the setup or teardown based on keyword tag.

Thanks

Ashok

Hello,

This isn't possible using pre-run modifiers. The keyword to actually
run is resolved only when it is executed and only then you could
modify it. You could have different setups/teardowns available and
pre-run modifier could select the one to use, though. Notice that in
general it's best to just set them directly in the test data.

Cheers,

Thank you for the response. My requirement is at the suite level we have the setup keyword.

This setup keyword contains a bunch of keywords in turn and doing various things like Login to UI, Opening SSH etc.

I want this steps to always happen, but other setup keywords like performing certain configuration which I want to skip if we already have the configuration.

Hence I wanted a way to programmatically skip it. Is there anyother option other than having some sort of flag variable like ${CONFIG_REQUIRED} if its False just skip the configuration ? 

Thanks

You can use Tags keywords to set and detect tags (and returning from setup early).

Ugh

Is it that you want to run the suite setup only if has not been run already? If yes, you could move the suite setup in a init file [1]. The init file suite setup is run once per folder and then you could have common setup for all suites in the (sub) folders. The down side is that one can not anymore run a pybot by running a single file, instead one run folder and including and excluding test must be done by example tags.
