Why
Robot Framework 7.0 (released January 2024) changed the output.xml format for status timestamps:
starttime/endtimeattributes with formatYYYYMMDD HH:MM:SS.fffstart/elapsedattributes whereelapsedis a float in seconds (ISO 8601 timestamp forstart)This change was introduced in RF 7.0 as part of #4258. The robot plugin only handled the old format, causing duration to always be
0when parsing RF 7.0+ output files.What
launchable/test_runners/robot.py: Updatedparse_functo detect the format by checking for theelapsedattribute first (RF 7.0+), falling back tostarttime/endtimeparsing (RF < 7.0).tests/data/robot/output.xml: Updated to a real RF 7.4.2 output file (new format).tests/data/robot/record_test_result.json: Updated golden file to match the newoutput.xml.tests/data/robot/output_legacy.xml: Added legacy RF 3.2.2 output file (oldstarttime/endtimeformat) to keep test coverage for the old format.tests/data/robot/record_test_legacy_result.json: Added golden file for the legacy format test.tests/test_runners/test_robot.py: Addedtest_record_test_legacytest case covering the RF < 7.0 format.
