Refactor

• intellij: Some code cleanup (479a9c3)

Bug Fixes

• intellij: Corrected handling of short by-longname argument (b5fa232)

• intellij: Reenable semantic highlightning, because something has changed in the new LSP4IJ API (5cdf3c3)

Features

• intellij: Refactored textmate highlightning to use the new intellij textmate infrastructure (74644f0)

• langserver: Refactor and optimize Robot Framework textmate syntax highlighting rules (5b7c4b1)

  this also fixes the loading of robotframework core test files in PyCharm

Bug Fixes

• analyze: Allowall also inrobot.toml configuration forexit-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 shouldnot influence the exit code ofrobotcode 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 -xmrobotcode analyze code --extend-exit-code-mask info   # or -xe

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

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

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

    robotcode analyze code -xm error -xm warn  # multiple optionsrobotcode 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 valueall 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 optionsrobotcode analyze code -xm error,hint# Overwrites robot.toml configrobotcode analyze code -xe info -xe hint# Extends robot.toml config with multiple typesrobotcode 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)

Refactor

• analyze: Move code analysing to it's own module (0123a50)

Testing

• Fix some unittest (98e4d5c)
• Disable some flaky tests (f9a1a82)
• Disable some flaky tests and correct regression test output file to be platform independent (4387984)
