Hi,

as written in [docs](https://github.com/Snooz82/robotframework-datadriver#robot-framework-command-line-arguments) you need to add a tag to the template test and include that.

I would recommend to just add a tag “`datadriver`” to all DataDriver Suites and then call always:

`robot --include datadriver --include <yourDynInclTags> --exclude <yourDynExclTags> `

If you do not include the static template test case of the robot file, robot will remove that from execution and the suite with DataDriver will never be executed.
