Document test execution flow (incl. continue on failure and stopping gracefully) #541

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

RF 2.5 has several new features affecting the test execution flow:
- continuing after failure (issue 137)
- stopping with signal (issue 249)
- stopping with ctrl-c (issue 108)
- stopping with fatal exception (issue 366)

We need a new section in the User Guide that explains all these features.
The section should also explain the "normal" test execution flow as well as
how setups and teardowns work.

Since all this documentation is included into this issue, the above
mentioned issues can be closed when they are otherwise done.

Oooops, stopping with signal is actually issue 349.

It would be nice to be able to edit the original description...

Run all keywords in teardown even if there are failures (Issue 544) Should be
documented also in this.

All listed items are now documented, but review is needed.

We'll add new `Fatal Error` keyword (issue 546) and that needs to be mentioned 
here too.

The current version of the documentation is available at
http://robotframework.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/doc/userguide/RobotFrameworkUserG
uide.html#test-execution

It has pretty much all the content that is needed, but the text needs to be 
proofread
and some features explained a little better. I'll provide more detailed 
comments to
Juha next week.

I pretty much rewrote the Test Execution chapter in r3739 and now it ought to 
be pretty good. Janne (and others), could you review the text?

I reviewed, and did some nitpicking in r3741.

From my part, this is done.

Kewl, I'd like to explain also --runmode ExitOnFailure in this chapter, but 
because that would also require changes to the --runmode section, and all the 
information is already available, I don't think that's worth the effort just 
not.

Removing Type-Documentation in favor of Type-Defect and Type-Enhancement to 
ease migrating issues to GitHub.
