This package allows you execute your *Robot Framework* test suite and report the
results into `Kiwi TCMS `_.

Installation
------------

::

pip install kiwitcms-robotframework-plugin

Configuration and environment
-----------------------------

Minimal config file `~/.tcms.conf`::

[tcms]
url = https://tcms.server/xml-rpc/
username = your-username
password = your-password

For more info see `tcms-api docs `_.

Each RF suite may define the following variables:

- **${plan_id}**: Existing TestPlan ID for storing test execution results.
**WARNING:** this plugin will create a new TestRun whenever ``plan_id``
changes! If subsequent test scenarios, aka .robot files don't override
``plan_id`` the current one will be used!
- **${product}**: Existing product name when creating a new TestPlan
- **${build_user_email}**: Email for an existing user,
override with ``TCMS_DEFAULT_TESTER_ID``!

.. warning::

If any of the above variables are missing this plugin will attempt to
discover the necessary information from your environment. The exect
behavior is document at
https://kiwitcms.readthedocs.io/en/latest/plugins/automation-frameworks.html#plugin-configuration

Documentation from test suite(s) is used when creating new TestRun(s).

Each RF test case may also specify the ``TC-xyz`` tag to map to an existing
TestCase in the database. For example::

*** Settings ***
Documentation An example test suite
Library OperatingSystem

*** Variables ***
${plan_id} 234

*** Test Cases ***
Scenario Maps To Existing TestCase
[Tags] TC-607 arbitrary_tag_here
Should Be Equal "Hello" "Hello"

Hello World Scenario
[Documentation] This will be the text of the new TC created in DB
Should Be Equal "Hello" "Hello"

Documentation from test cases is used when creating new TestCase records in
the database.

Usage
-----

::

robot --listener zealand.listener.KiwiTCMS

Extension and customization
---------------------------

You can customize the behavior of this plugin by extending the listener and
backend classes and overriding some of their methods. For example
save the following in ``acme_tools.py``::

from zealand.listener import KiwiTCMS
from zealand.listener import RFBackend

class JenkinsBackend(RFBackend):
def get_run_id(self):
"""
If ${node_name} is specified then tag the TR with "node: X" tag!

This is done right after a new TR is created!
"""
run_id = super().get_run_id()

node_name = self.built_in.get_variable_value('${node_name}')
if node_name:
self.rpc.TestRun.add_tag(run_id, 'node: %s' % node_name)
return run_id

def finish_test_run(self):
"""
Do not set TR.stop_date !!!

If ${jenkins_tag} is specified then tag the TR with it!

This is executed at the end of each TestRun after all
execution results have been reported.
"""
# do not call the inherited method b/c we want to keep these
# test runs open for inspection by a human !!!
# super().finish_test_run()

jenkins_tag = self.built_in.get_variable_value('${jenkins_tag}')
if jenkins_tag:
self.rpc.TestRun.add_tag(self.run_id, jenkins_tag)

class AcmeCorpListener(KiwiTCMS):
backend_class = JenkinsBackend

def end_test(self, name, attrs):
"""
You may also find it more appropriate to override a
listener class instead.
"""
super().end_test(name, attrs)

for tag in attrs['tags']:
if tag.startswith('JIRA-'):
# hyperlink the results between Kiwi TCMS, Jenkins & JIRA
# by posting comments everywhere

then instruct Robot Framework to use the overriden listener instead of the
default one::

robot --listener path/to/acme_tools.py
