Hi,

Robot Framework documentation should always be the first place to look I think.

If you just want unique filenames, you can use “-T” (you can see the doc for this by typing “pybot -h”).

 

If you really want a separate directory instead of just filenames, I think you’ll need to wrap the “pybot” call in some sort of script.

Hello Michael ,

My requirement is to generate separate folder for each test run.

can you please provide the piece of code in python :

Eg: I want to generate log results  in C:\Results\Timestamp_Logs for each run it will create log folder in C:\Results\ directory.

As Michael commented, this is easiest to accomplish by having a
wrapper script that runs your tests instead of using robot/pybot
command directly. Such a wrapper script can be implemented using any
language, for example, as a shell script:

#!/bin/bash
timestamp=`date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S`
robot --outputdir $timestamp "$@"

If you use Python, you can start execution programmatically:

#!/usr/bin/env python

import sys
import time
import robot

timestamp = time.strftime('%Y%m%d-%H%M%S')
robot.run_cli(['--outputdir', timestamp] + sys.argv[1:])


Cheers,
