v0.6.0

added

• Improved variable analysis

  • In an expression like ${A+'${B+"${F}"}'+'${D}'} ${C}, every single 'inner' variable will be recognized, you can hover over it, it can be found as reference, you can go to the definition, ...
  • Also in python expressions like ${{$a+$b}} variables are recognized
  • Support for variables in expression in IF and WHILE statements
    • in something like $i<5 the variables are recognized
  • Only the name of the variable is used for hovering, goto and ..., not the surrounding ${}

• Support importing variable files as module for RobotFramework 5

• Depending on selected testcase names contains a colon, a semicolon is used as separator of prerunmodifier for executing testcases

  • fixes #20
  • note: i think you should not use colons or semicolon in testcase names ;-)

• Improve Debugger

  • The debugger shows variables as inline values and when hovering, it shows the current variable value not the evaluted expression
  • Variables in the debugger are now resolved correctly and are sorted into Local/Test/Suite and Global variables
  • Fix stepping/halt on breakpoint for IF/ELSE statements if the expression is evaluated as False
  • Rework of stepping and stacktrace in the debugger
    • Only the real steps are displayed in the stack trace

• Optimize keyword matching

  • all keyword references also with embedded arguments + regex are found
  • ambigous embedded keywords are recognized correctly, also with regex
  • speed up finding keyword references
  • fix #28
  • addresses #24

• Ignoring robotcode diagnostics

  • you can put a line comment to disable robotcode diagnostics (i.e errors or warnings) for a single line, like this:

  *** Test cases ***
  first
      unknown keyword  a param   # robotcode: ignore
      Run Keyword If    ${True}
      ...    Log    ${Invalid var        # robotcode: ignore
      ...  ELSE
      ...    Unknown keyword  No  # robotcode: ignore

• Propagate import errors from resources

  • errors like: Resource file with 'Test Cases' section is invalid are shown at import statement
  • Note: Robocop has it's own ignore mechanism

• Initialize logging only of "--log" parameter is set from commandline

  • fixes #30

• Optimize loading of imports and collecting keywords

  • this addresses #24
  • one of the big points here is, beware of namespace pollution ;-)

• Full Support for BDD Style keywords

  • includes hover, goto, highlight, references, ...
