ReplaceBreakContinue

Replace Continue For Loop and Exit For Loop keyword variants with CONTINUE and BREAK statements.

Note

Required Robot Framework version: >=5.0

Transformer configuration

ReplaceBreakContinue is included in the default transformers, but it can be also run separately with:

robotidy --transform ReplaceBreakContinue src

You can also disable ReplaceBreakContinue:

robotidy --configure ReplaceBreakContinue:enabled=False src

It will replace Continue For Loop and Exit For Loop keywords with CONTINUE and BREAK respectively:

Before

*** Test Cases ***
Test
    WHILE    $flag
        Continue For Loop
    END
    FOR    ${var}    IN    abc
        Exit For Loop
    END

After

*** Test Cases ***
Test
    WHILE    $flag
        CONTINUE
    END
    FOR    ${var}    IN    abc
        BREAK
    END

Conditional variants are also handled. Shorter IFs can be also formatted to inline IF with InlineIf transformer:

Before

*** Test Cases ***
Test
    WHILE    $flag
        Continue For Loop If    $condition
    END
    FOR    ${var}    IN    abc
        Exit For Loop If    $condition
    END

After

*** Test Cases ***
Test
    WHILE    $flag
        IF    $condition
            CONTINUE
        END
    END
    FOR    ${var}    IN    abc
        IF    $condition
            BREAK
        END
    END

Continue For Loop and Exit For Loop along with conditional variants outside of the loop are ignored.
