Gude!

I have a profile that I'd like to active in CI environment:

[profiles.ci]
enabled = { if = "environ.get('CI') == 'true'" }
no-status-rc = { if = "environ.get('CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME') == 'main'" }

The profile is automatically enabled when the environment variable CI is set. Which is awesome. Now depending on the branch ci is working on, want the status-rc to be returned or not.

Now, I can duplicate the CI-job, but it would be very convenient when boolean configurtions (like no-status-rc) would accept conditions just like enabled.

Background:
feature branches must fail an be reviewed before being merged. Test runs on main must not fail the pipeline, as their results are reported in test reporting tool.

Regards

   Yes, I can see that I need to make a plan for whether to implement this as a Condition or as a BoolExpression, since it's a flag and can also have the values ON, OFF, DEFAULT.

   What do you mean by duplicating the CI job?

   I think something like this could also work:

   [profiles.ci-main]
   enabled = { if = "environ.get('CI') == 'true' and environ.get('CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME') == 'main'" }
   no-status-rc = true
   
   [profiles.ci-branch]
   enabled = { if = "environ.get('CI') == 'true' and environ.get('CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME') != 'main'" }
   no-status-rc = false

   Just had a similar idea after i had posted about duplicating the job 😬

   #######
   # CI related profiles
   #######
   
   [profiles.ci]
   enabled = { if = "environ.get('CI', False)" }
   inherits = ["headless", "only-on-main", "never-on-main"]
   
   [profiles.only-on-main]
   hidden=true
   enabled = { if = "environ.get('CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME') == 'main'" }
   no-status-rc = true
   
   [profiles.never-on-main]
   hidden=true
   enabled = { if = "environ.get('CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME') != 'main'" }
   no-status-rc = false

   What I did not take in to account is that I still have to provide ci on commandline. I had expected the enabled properties being evaluated automatically.

   So above config works when executing robotcode -p ci ...... in pipeline. It automatically detects which one of the other 2 profiles must be enabled.

   You have to use the default-profiles setting.

   Hi guys,

   is this issue still free?
   I'm looking for my first beginner-friendly open source contribution and would like to do some "learning by contributing".
   I don't see any other "good first issues", so if this one is taken, it would be very kind to advise me here.

   Thanks and kind regards
   Beste Grüße

   Christian

    @d-biehl I found a direct solution for the configuration requested in this issue and opened draft PR #634.

    default-profiles = ["ci"]
    
    [profiles.ci]
    enabled = { if = "environ.get('CI') == 'true'" }
    no-status-rc = { if = "environ.get('CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME') == 'main'" }

    This uses a single ci profile and requires no duplicated jobs or helper profiles. With CI=true, a failing Robot run exits with 0 on main and retains the failure exit code on feature branches.

    The implementation reuses the existing Condition { if = ... } evaluation path. Existing true, false, on, off, and default values remain unchanged. The behavior is covered end to end across all supported Robot Framework versions.

    Hey @d-biehl — following up on PR #634, which is now ready for review.

    Could you give a clear call on whether you want this merged via the Condition approach? If yes, please approve running the CI workflows so checks can run. If not, feel free to close the PR and I'll step aside.
