v0.93.0

Bug Fixes

• Logging of measure_time if log is disabled (725c739)
• Enable supportsANSIStyling in DAP to reeanble colored output in debug console (0d5616c)
• Corrected highlightning invalid sections for RF7 (d139ff1)

Features

• cli: New command line interface tool - Robot Framework REPL interpreter (be386d2)

  The new CLI command repl introduces an interactive Robot Framework interpreter. You can install it by running pip install robotcode[repl] and start it via the command line using robotcode repl.

  With this interactive interpreter, you can execute Robot Framework keywords without the need to run a full test suite. By default, all BuiltIn keywords are immediately accessible. To load a library, you can use the import library keyword, and for resources or variable files, you can use the corresponding built-in commands import resource and import variables. The outcome of any keyword execution, along with relevant log details, is displayed directly in the console.

  You can exit the interpreter using the exit keyword or by pressing CTRL+D on Unix-like systems and CTRL+Z followed by ENTER on Windows.

  At this stage, the implementation is fairly basic, but additional features for the REPL command are planned. This also serves as the first step toward an exciting new feature (spoiler alert!): Robot Framework Notebooks.

• debugger: Increase timeouts for debugger to fit better to python debugger timeouts and introduce environment variables to override these timeouts (63f3e4a)

• langserver: Resolve variable in hover for documentation settings in testcases and keywords (ffa9bdb)

• vscode: Introduce RobotCode: Start Terminal REPL command for launching the interactive Robot Framework interpreter directly from VSCode (f4025fb)

• Improved logging with time information (27d21b5)

  • Operations that take a little longer now have an indication of how long they took
  • 2 new command line switches --log-format and --log-style, see also the Python logging documentation

• --root command line argument to specify a project root and disable autodetection of project root (add4102)

• Add --no-vcs command-line option to ignore VCS directories (e.g., .git) when detecting the project root (d7e28f2)

  #closes 201

Performance

• langserver: Speedup semantic highlightning a lot (567ac72)

Refactor

• Some performance tweaks (d3b39be)

v0.92.0

Features

• analyze: Allow shortforms of warning and information, warn and info in diagnostic modifiers (f226091)

• config: Added posibility to allow different tool configs to robot.toml.json schema (ee256ce)

• robot.toml: Introduce new settings for analysis in robot.toml (fa37dba)

• vscode: Introduce setting for modifing the diagnostics severity (5cca59f)

  With these settings, you can override the default configuration for all diagnostic messages. By combining file, block, and line diagnostic modifiers, you can precisely control how specific errors are displayed.

  • robotcode.analysis.diagnosticModifiers.ignore: Suppresses specific diagnostics from being displayed. You can specify one or more error codes, like MultipleKeywords or [multiple-keywords, VariableNotFound]. Use * to ignore all errors and then maybe add specific error codes to other modifiers, such as information, to selectively show them.
  • robotcode.analysis.diagnosticModifiers.error: Treats selected diagnostics as errors.
  • robotcode.analysis.diagnosticModifiers.warning: Displays chosen diagnostics as warnings.
  • robotcode.analysis.diagnosticModifiers.information: Shows specified diagnostics as information
  • robotcode.analysis.diagnosticModifiers.hint: Marks selected diagnostics as hints

  These settings allow you to tailor the diagnostic outputs to meet the specific needs of your project.

• Introduce Select Python Environment command and deprecate robotcode.python (be0573d)

  See here for an explanation.
