To implement rerun on skipped Robot Framework test cases in Jenkins, you can use the following steps:

1.  Add the --rerunfailed option to the robot command in your Jenkins job's build script. This option tells Robot Framework to rerun any failed test cases.

2.  Configure your Jenkins job to archive the output files generated by Robot Framework, including the log and report files.

3.  Add a post-build step to your Jenkins job that checks for any skipped test cases in the Robot Framework output files. You can use a tool like grep or awk to search for the string "SKIPPED" in the log and report files.

4.  If any skipped test cases are found, rerun the Jenkins job with the --rerunfailed option again.

5.  Repeat step 3 and 4 until there are no more skipped test cases.

Here's an example of what the build script might look like:

And here's an example of what the post-build step might look like:

  echo "Skipped tests found, rerunning..."

6.  Once there are no more skipped test cases, you can add another post-build step to generate the final output files, such as HTML or XML reports, using the rebot command. The rebot command can merge the output files generated by multiple test runs into a single report.

Here's an example of what the final post-build step might look like:

rebot --outputdir final_results output.xml rerun_output.xml

This will generate the final output files in the final_results directory, using the original output.xml file and any additional rerun_output.xml files generated during the reruns.

Note that if you want to limit the number of times that the tests are rerun, you can add a counter variable to the build script and increment it each time the tests are rerun. You can then add a check in the post-build step to make sure that the counter variable doesn't exceed a certain threshold before rerunning the tests again.

Additionally, it's important to note that rerunning failed or skipped tests can be a useful strategy for improving the stability of your test suite, but it's not a substitute for identifying and fixing the root cause of test failures. If you find yourself needing to rerun tests frequently, it may be a sign that there are issues with the test environment, test data, or test code that need to be addressed.

So, let's know how to implement rerun skipped on Robot Framework test cases in Jenkins with some steps.
