Logging: robotframeworks logging seems not be able to support long-running tests #53

Closed test-fullautomation closed 5 months ago

test-fullautomation commented 7 months ago

robotframeworks logging seems not be able to support long-running tests due to huge growing log files which are very difficult to navigate

  1. analyze how logging can be improved for long-running tests by means of robotframework core features.
  2. improve core for better logging.

Hi Holger, I made TML logging together with you, and you know the requirements. Therefore despite it's a robotframework core feature I intend to shift this to you. Regards, Thomas

Hi Thomas,

interesting topic.

Robotframework supports --splitlog for HTML log files.

I will give it a try.

Hi Holger, yes, the is the reason for Nr. 1. First we need to check what RobotFramework core can do, and where are the exact limits. Then we can see how to improve. Thank you, Thomas
