Testmo works with any test automation tool, including the popular Python-based test automation framework. This quickstart guide provides an overview of how to report Robot Framework test automation results to Testmo to implement .

Run Robot Framework & generate XML file

Robot Framework comes with full support for generating JUnit-style XML files, which has become a standard format to exchange test results between tools.

$ robot --xunit results/test-results.xml *.robot
$ npm install -g @testmo/testmo-cli
$ testmo -h

Usage: testmo [options] [command]
[...]
$ export TESTMO_TOKEN=********
$ testmo automation:run:submit \
  --instance https://<your-name>.testmo.net \
  --project-id 1 \
  --name "Robot test run" \
  --source "unittests" \
  --results results/*.xml

If you run this example on a single command line, make sure to remove the backspaces:

$ export TESTMO_TOKEN=********
$ testmo automation:run:submit --instance https://<your-name>.testmo.net --project-id 1 --name "Robot test run" --source "unittests" --results results/*.xml

On Windows, the command line uses a slightly different syntax to set a variable:

> set TESTMO_TOKEN=********
> testmo automation:run:submit --instance https://<your-name>.testmo.net --project-id 1 --name "Robot test run" --source "unittests" --results results/*.xml
See command output
Collecting log files ..
Found 1 result file with a total of 855 tests
Created new automation run (ID: 254)
Created new thread (ID: 608)
Sending tests to Testmo ..
Uploading: [|||||||||||||||||||||||||] 100% | ETA: 0s | 855/855 tests
Successfully sent tests and completed run
Marked the run as completed  

That's it! 🎉 This will automatically analyze the XML result file, create a new test run in Testmo, submit all tests & results and mark the run as completed. There's no need to manually create any tests, map tests or IDs or build any custom API code. Everything is handled automatically for you.

In the above example, we first launched Robot Framework to generate the XML file and then used our CLI tool to submit the results in a second step. As an improvement to the above example, we can ask our CLI tool to launch Robot Framework (testmo then starts and waits for Robot Framework to finish). This has the following additional benefits:

a) Capture full console output and send it to Testmo b) Accurately measure test times c) Record the Robot Framework exit code

Launch Robot Framework with CLI tool

We can ask our CLI tool to launch Robot Framework, so we can capture the console output and more:

$ export TESTMO_TOKEN=********
$ testmo automation:run:submit \
  --instance https://<your-name>.testmo.net \
  --project-id 1 \
  --name "Robot test run" \
  --source "unittests" \
  --results results/*.xml \
  -- robot --xunit results/test-results.xml *.robot
    ^ space!

Now that you are familiar with submitting your Robot Framework test results to Testmo, you might also find the following additional examples, topics and references useful for more advanced workflows.

This will run your tests with Robot Framework and automatically write all test results to an XML file in the results directory. You can also configure a different directory or use any other regular Robot Framework command line options. You can learn more about generating JUnit-style files (also called XUnit files) in the .

Submit test results to Testmo

To submit your test results to Testmo, you simply use our cross-platform CLI tool. The CLI tool is distributed as an NPM package and is easy to install on any system. Simply install our official @testmo/testmo-cli NPM package:

We can now send the Robot Framework test results to Testmo. To do this, make sure to in Testmo from your profile page. The API key is used to authenticate with Testmo to send the results. We can then use the testmo CLI tool so submit our results (note that we first set the TESTMO_TOKEN variable, which the tool expects):
