Abort execution of the whole data driven test suite if PANIC encountered in any of the test cases

[Rohan Majumdar]

I have a templated data driven robot framework test case.
Now the task is to abort the whole suite execution if output contains the word "PANIC!".
Can you tell how to achieve this?

[Pekka Klärck]

If you can detect this situation already in suite setup, you only need
to fail the setup and all tests in the suite will be marked failed
without executing them:
http://robotframework.org/robotframework/latest/RobotFrameworkUserGuide.html#suite-setup-and-teardown

If tests in the suite are already running, things get a bit more
complicated. If it is OK to stop the whole test execution, you can use
fatal exceptions:
http://robotframework.org/robotframework/latest/RobotFrameworkUserGuide.html#stopping-test-execution-gracefully

Having a built-in way to stop the execution of the current suite and
continuing from the next one would sometimes be useful. I guess that
could be implemented using special exceptions similarly as fatal
exceptions.
