Hi,

I have written my test script in Robot framework editor (RED).
My script runs on a remote server for 2 days.
Is there alternative to run the robot framework test suite script in the background without terminating.
Appreciate your help.

Thanks,

Hi,

you should be able to run remote scripts in background in case is remote machine. The only thing is to start it on remote machine and not your local machine.


For Windows in case you are using RDP (Remote Desktop) please leave the CMD console to be running after you will disconnect from machine. In case you are using Cygwin or any other SSH then please follow the same rules as for Linux.

Best Regards,
-Adam.

Could you run your test in the CI?

If the remote is running linux, another option could be installing tmux. 

You then ssh into the remote, run tmux, start the robot instance there and then detach from the tmux session. You can then disconnect from the remote server.

This is fairly nice because the tmux session can be attached the next time you ssh into the remote.
