Creates HTML Metrics report based on robotframework output.xml.

• Sample Report link
• What's new in _v3.1.1 link
• Source Code used to parse output.xml in metrics report link

1. Read output.xml file using robotframework API
2. Get Suite, Test Case , Keyword , Status and Elapsed time values
3. Convert data to html report using Beautifulsoup

1. Install robotmetrics

   Case 1: Using pip

   pip install robotframework-metrics
   

   Case 2: Using setup.py (clone project and run command within root)

   python setup.py install
   

2. Execute robotmetrics command to generate report

   Case 1: No change in output.xml, log.html file name's and user is in same folder

   robotmetrics
   

   Case 2: Change in output.xml, log.html file name's And .xml and .html files are under 'Result' folder

   robotmetrics --inputpath ./Result/ --output "output1.xml" --log "log1.html"
   

   For more info on command line options use:

   robotmetrics --help
   

3. RobotFramework Metrics Report metric-timestamp.html file will be created in current folder | -inputpath if specified

4. Email will be sent to mentioned recepient with metric-timestamp.html file

Specify Logo in Robotframework metrics:

• Custom Logo : Customize your logo by using --logo command line option

  --logo "https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images"
  

• Default robotmetrics uses gmail server. From command line users have to specific FROM, PWD, TO and CC

  robotmetrics --email true --from "user1@gmail.com" --pwd "***********" --to "user2@gmail.com,user3@yahoo.com"
   --cc "user4@yahoo.com,user5@gmail.com" 
  
  

• From 3.1.2: -E or --email in command line is considered as true

  (3.1.2 is in developement - can get by cloning master)

  robotmetrics --email --from "user1@gmail.com" --pwd "***********" --to "user2@gmail.com,user3@yahoo.com"
   --cc "user4@yahoo.com,user5@gmail.com"
  
  

• By default email will be sent to mentioned recipients when robotmetrics command is executed. Using --email false can disable email

  robotmetrics --email false
  

• Use command line options to ignore library keywords

  --ignore "Collections,Selenium2Library"
  

• In Metric report, keywords with type value 'for' and 'foritem' are ignored
• Following library keywords are ignored in Metrics Report

  ignore_library = [
   'BuiltIn',
   'SeleniumLibrary',
   'String',
   'Collections',
   'DateTime',
  ] 
  

Execute robotmetrics command after suite or test execution as follows:

• Create .bat (or) .sh file with following snippet

  robot test.robot &&
  robotmetrics [:options]
  

  && is used to execute multiple command's in .bat file

• Modify robotmetrics command as required and execute .bat file

• Robotframework metrics will be created after execution

*Performance Improvement (Beta) *

• Do you feel robotmetrics command taking more time to capture metrics? Robotframework-metrics have ability to process metrics in parallel using gevent (which helps in saving time)

• Step 1: Install gevent
• Step 2: Execute robotmetrics command
