Renaming Testsuite from python

Development Python
1

I know that you can rename a testsuite with custom name by putting this to your test suite:
*** Settings ***
Name Custom Suite Name

However, I’d like to generate a dynamic suite name for my purposes like
*** Settings ***
Name Custom Suite Name ${SOME_GLOBAL_VARIABLE}

But this merely creates a suite name ‘Custom Suite Name ${SOME_GLOBAL_VARIABLE}’ so it seems no dynamic data can be placed in suite name…

To the Python… I have something like this:

class MyLibrary:
ROBOT_LISTENER_API_VERSION = 3
ROBOT_LIBRARY_SCOPE = ‘TEST SUITE’

def __init__(self):
    self.ROBOT_LIBRARY_LISTENER = self
    self.currentSuite = None

def _start_suite(self, data, suite):
    data.name = "custom suite"
    self.current_suite = data

That data.name line gives this warning:
robot: 2024-03-26 16:48:18 UTC pid: 10120 - MainThread - CRITICAL - robotframework_debug_adapter.debugger_impl
Robot Debugger Warning: SUITE - MySuite pop just by type. Actual request: SUITE - custom suite name

But in the robot report I can see still the original MySuite as a test suite, so it doesn’t change this.

if I put this to the _start_suite method:
suite.name = “Custom suite”

This gives no warning and the and in the execution console you can see this as new suitename BUT once I open the report, the old suitename remains.

I even checked the documentation here:
https://robot-framework.readthedocs.io/en/latest/_modules/robot/model/testsuite.html

Having said that, I am not a Python god, so I have probably an error in my thoughts somewhere, but this would be nice to resolve.
