Remove a Test from Test Results

Robot Framework
1

Hi all, do you know how I can mark a Test Case as not counted as a Test or are there any Preparation Steps anyhow in Robot Framework ?

*** Settings ***
Library  Libraries/LibArtifacts.py
Library  Dialogs

*** Test Cases ***
Collect Credentials
  ${user}=  Get Value from User  User
  Set global Variable  ${user}
  ${pw}=  Get Value from User  Passwort  hidden=True
  Set global Variable  ${pw}
Test downloading valid Artifact
  ${result}=  Download Artifact  ArtTest  8.1.6  ${user}  ${pw}
  Should not be equal  ${result}  Failed
Test downloading invalid Artifact
  Run Keyword and expect Error  File not found  Download Artifact  ArtTest  0.0.0  ${user}  ${pw}

This is the Code I am working on and I don’t want Collect Credentials to be a Test, it’s just a preparing Step.

I could fix it that way:

TestArtifact.robot

*** Settings ***
Library  Libraries/LibArtifacts.py
Suite Setup  Collect Credentials

*** Test Cases ***
Test downloading valid Artifact
  ${result}=  Download Artifact  ArtTest  8.1.6  ${user}  ${pw}
  Should not be equal  ${result}  Failed
Test downloading invalid Artifact
  Run Keyword and expect Error  File not found  Download Artifact  ArtTest  0.0.0  ${user}  ${pw}

*** Keywords ***
Collect Credentials
  ${user}=  collectUser
  Set Suite Variable  ${user}
  ${pw}=  collectPW
  Set Suite Variable  ${pw}

Libraries/LibArtifacts.py

import sys
sys.path.append('../../../')
import Artifacts
from robot.api import logger
import getpass

import platform
if platform.system() == 'Darwin':
    osystem = 'mac'
if platform.system() == 'Linux':
    osystem = 'linux'
if platform.system() == 'Windows':
    osystem = 'win'

def collectUser():
    logger.console('Use `%s` as User'%(getpass.getuser()))
    return getpass.getuser()

def collectPW():
    return getpass.getpass('Password: ')
