You can configure which settings are affected by parameter work_mode
. Possible values:
overwrite_ok (default) - does not remove settings that are overwriting suite settings (Test Setup, Test Teardown, Test Template, Test Timeout or Default Tags)
always - works on every settings
Empty settings that are overwriting suite settings will be converted to be more explicit (given that there is
related suite settings present). You can disable that behavior by changing more_explicit
parameter value to False
:
robotidy --configure RemoveEmptySettings:more_explicit=False src
