ReplaceBreakContinue

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

Note

Required Robot Framework version: >=5.0

Disabling the formatter

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

robocop format --select ReplaceBreakContinue

You can also disable it:

robocop format --configure ReplaceBreakContinue.enabled=False

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

BeforeAfter

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

*** 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 InflineIf formatter:

BeforeAfter

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

*** 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 the loop are ignored.
