Dynamic Test Cases?

[Daniel Connolly]

I'm trying to apply a test to all of the members of a group. It works, but not quite the way I would like. I'm using something like this

*** Test Cases ***
All Accounts
    @{allusers}        Get Group Members    ${THE GROUP}
    :FOR   ${auser}  IN  @{allusers}
    \    Run Keyword and Continue on Failure     Account is ok        ${auser}

There are about a thousand members of this group. The issue is that this is represented in the results as one big test case.

Is there a way to dynamically create test cases? So I could create a test case for every member of the group. That way there would be a thousand test cases and I can use the filtering in the report to only show the failed cases.

As far as I know there is no way to create dynamically test cases in RF.
But maybe some more experienced people have an idea.

when I want to tets multiple things (accounts for you) in a single test case,
I do like you and use the "Run keyword and continue on failure",
and on every failure I store the information in an object,
so that at the end of the test case, if the object is not empty,
I force test case failure and log the list of items that failed.
Not what you ask, and maybe what you already do, but that might help.

Hello,

I made a test generator some time ago:

There might be others available also or you could make one of your own..

In theory it is possible using the new public API for generating and executing tests but i did several tests without success.

Maybe someone can give more examples about it.
