Empty traces folder left behind

Libraries Browser
1

When I run test cases and they finish, in my logs output directory is a new directory Browser/traces which has a directory named with a GUID, however that directory is empty. I guess that’s the Playwright’s temporary traces directory. I wonder why it’s left in place after text execution.

That is correct, it’s left over from Playwright side. Library deletes the ${OUTPUT_DIR}/Browser folder at the test suite startup. But we don’t check empty folders at the test execution end.

Thanks for the info.

Is there any way to disable the creating of the ${OUTPUT_DIR}/Browser/traces folder?

There is not, but there is a bug When new RF execution starts, coverage directory is not deleted · Issue #4006 · MarketSquare/robotframework-browser · GitHub

Should be now fixed in the latest releases. If something is still leaking, please raise new issue
