v1.1.0

Bug Fixes

• analyze: Allow all also in robot.toml configuration for exit-code-mask (a496714)
• langserver: Corrected highlightning of embedded arguments if there is a namespace given before the keyword (0ce5446)

Documentation

• Draft article about variables (161006e)
• Added pycharm link on the robotcode.io homepage (7686a21)

Features

• analyze: Exit code mask configuration for code analysis (4b677ad)

  Configure which message types should not influence the exit code of robotcode analyze code, allowing granular control over CI/CD pipeline behavior or pre-commit hooks.

  Configuration File (robot.toml)

  [tool.robotcode-analyze.code]
  exit-code-mask = ["error", "warn"]

  Command Line Options

  robotcode analyze code --exit-code-mask error,warn    # or -xm
  robotcode analyze code --extend-exit-code-mask info   # or -xe
  

  • -xm (or --exit-code-mask) overwrites the configuration in robot.toml

  • -xe (or --extend-exit-code-mask) extends the configuration in robot.toml

  • Both options can be specified multiple times or with comma-separated values:

    robotcode analyze code -xm error -xm warn  # multiple options
    robotcode analyze code -xm error,warn      # comma-separated
    

  Behavior

  • Message types in the mask are ignored when determining exit code
  • Available types: error, warn/warning, info/information, hint
  • Special value all ignores all message types (always exit code 0)
  • Without configuration, all message types affect the exit code

  Example

  # In robot.toml - Ignore warnings but let errors affect exit code
  [tool.robotcode-analyze.code]
  exit-code-mask = ["warn"]

  # Using short options
  robotcode analyze code -xm error,hint  # Overwrites robot.toml config
  robotcode analyze code -xe info -xe hint  # Extends robot.toml config with multiple types
  robotcode analyze code -xm all          # Always exit with code 0

• vscode: Add configuration for output file display options (738d7a6)

  Add "robotcode.run.openOutputTarget" setting to control how Robot Framework output files are displayed:

  • simpleBrowser: in VSCode's built-in browser
  • externalHttp: in default browser via HTTP protocol
  • externalFile: in default browser via file system

  The externalFile options may not run in remote development environments.

• vscode: Use short CLI argument versions when calling robotcode (0987f55)
