Hi All

Ugh

Many things are possible from Robot Framework, but your need has a problem. To know that has test case passed or failed is known only when execution ends. Because test execution has ended, you can't call any keywords to send the status. Also the report and the log are generated after the test execution has ended.

But there are alternatives to your need. For example we use Jenkins to send emails, with the status of the test execution, to the development team. Also it should be relatively easy build custom runner script, which uses Robot Framework listener API [1] to listen test case status or parses the required information out from the output.xml.

Thanks for Your information Tault Aalto. please explain with any one example, how to send email while executing the test.

Ugh

I can't because I don't know how to do it. If you really need it, I would look into the listener API direction.

nattu,

One possibility is to use the "Run Keyword If Test Passed" and "Run Keyword If Test Failed" keywords in your teardown.

Ex:

Run Keyword If Test Passed    SendPassEmail

Run Keyword If Test Failed    SendFailEmail

Where in SendPassEmail and SendFailEmail keywords you send the email

I have never sent an email in a keyword but you could try this lib

https://github.com/lucamaro/robotframework-smtplibrary

here are example from the source code

https://github.com/lucamaro/robotframework-smtplibrary/blob/master/examples/scenarios/Mail.txt

Another possibility, would be to implement a tool / script that parse the xml test result and send email.

xml schema is documented.

I have similar requirement so using python file I have achieved requirement (need to execute .py file after robot execution)

Project link and Readme

How to send email after test execution

1. Copy robotemail.py to file
   
2. Create a bat file (which executes robot command and .py file in sequence)
   
   
   robot test.robot &&
   python robotemail.py
   
   
3. Execute bat file
4. Email will be sent to recipients

Hi,

I've had tried your sample source code, but I have encountered an error "not atttribute" _prepare_connection

under SmtpLibrary when I ran the script.
