Support for Robot Framework 4.0 

Robot Framework 4.0 comes with important new features such as the SKIP status and native IF/ELSE support as well as enhancements to type conversion and Libdoc.

These changes have not been possible without breaking backward compatibility in some cases.

Xray now supports the new Robot Framework 4.0 report format.

When importing executing results using the Xray JSON format, you can create tests automatically by providing a testInfo element along with the test specification. Xray will only create the tests once since consequent imports of the same report will reuse the same test issues and generate new executions for the results. Manual and BDD tests are matched by summary and Generic tests by the generic definition within the same project.

Xray brings you the ability to import data-driven test results into manual tests. A dataset within the execution will automatically be created based on the iterations that are being imported.

Dataset improvements

Xray is now able to export existing datasets into CSV. This will allow you to edit the datasets outside of Jira and import them back again.

You can also change the order of parameters within a dataset.

As of now, you can import test sets along with tests using Xray's Test Case Importer. 

Associating tests with test sets within the same CSV file can be achieved automatically as Xray will create the issues and link the tests with the test sets specified in the Test Sets column.

You can also associate the tests that are being imported with existing test set issues in Jira by including the issue keys in the Test Sets column.
