Generate summary from robot framework log file - windows

Question

we are using Jenkins for installation which is there from many years in our product.
But now I want to enhance it, we have some basic tests run for each component, each has its own robot log file placed in a folder.
I want a create a batch file using windows cmd to parse all log files in that folder, and get me the test cases which are failed.
Any idea how it can be done?
Thanks

I think, you requirement is rebot option of Robot Framework.
Consider, you have two test suites which are executed separately.
valid_login.txt
invalid_login.txt
Each test suite create three log files in Robot framework.
report.html
log.html
output.xml
First thing, you need to create the unique name for these all logs.
This can be done using :
-r for renaming report.html
-l for renaming log.html
-o for renaming output.xml
Example:
pybot -d "F:\robot framework\WebDemo\Logs" -o "invalid_login.xml" -l "invalid_login.html" -r "invalid_login_report.html" invalid_login.robot
In this way, after executing, you will have two set of reports.
Since you want to merge the reports and create the combined report, we will first create only XML log for each test suite.
pybot -d "F:\robot framework\WebDemo\Logs" -o "invalid_login.xml" -l None -r None invalid_login.robot
Above example will create only XML log file in given directory mentioned with -d option.
Once you execute above both test suites, it will create two XML log files.
invalid_login.xml
valid_login.xml
Now, you can merge the both XML and create combined report using below command.
F:\robot framework\WebDemo>rebot Logs\*.xml
Log: F:\robot framework\WebDemo\log.html
Report: F:\robot framework\WebDemo\report.html
F:\robot framework\WebDemo>invalid_login
rebot will take all XML files in Logs directory and create combined Log and Report file.

Once you combined the all reports, you can filter the Failed test cases easily in report.html
