Distribute Robot checks with CheckMK Agent bakery

WIP in branch bakery

[simonmeggle]

Proposal for Robot arguments which should be supported in the bakery rule and the agent plugin:

Must-be:

• --name: Set the name of the top level suite. Overrides auto naming from top level dir or robot file.
• --suite: Select suites by name pattern
• --test: Select tests by name pattern
• --include: Select tests by tag pattern (exists already -> rename)
• --exclude: Exclude tests by tag pattern
• --variablefile: Load variables from file
• --exitonfailure=True: lets RF exit the whole suite if one test failed. (default is to execute all tests)

Optional:

• --critical/--noncritical - pattern which tests are considered critical = can raise exceptions.

#27 describes how the bakery could clone the test repository and bake the test files into the agent.

This is done with agent bakery rule "Deploy custom files with agent". Tested and works.

What I wanted to remark is the possibility to include a version controlled test dir. For now it is ok to deliver the files with the existent bakery rule you mentioned.

@guillaume-durville : argumentfile is not a valid parameter when calling robot via python. I just have seen this.
Options that do not take an argument (like exitonfailure) are given as boolean parameters: exitonfailure=True

[simonmeggle]

I have now written tests for the agent plugin and almost each possible robot argument (see above).
For reference, you can inspect the robotmk.yml files for each test/argument in https://github.com/simonmeggle/robotmk/tree/agentplugin/test/fixtures/plugin.
