[ENHANCEMENT, `robot.toml`] Make `no-status-rc` accept conditions (like `enabled` does)

[Markus]

Gude!

I have a profile that I'd like to active in CI environment:

[profiles.ci]
enabled = { if = "environ.get('CI') == 'true'" }
no-status-rc = { if = "environ.get('CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME') == 'main'" }

The profile is automatically enabled when the environment variable CI is set. Which is awesome. Now depending on the branch ci is working on, want the status-rc to be returned or not.

Now, I can duplicate the CI-job, but it would be very convenient when boolean configurtions (like no-status-rc) would accept conditions just like enabled.

Background:
feature branches must fail an be reviewed before being merged. Test runs on main must not fail the pipeline, as their results are reported in test reporting tool.

Yes, I can see that I need to make a plan for whether to implement this as a Condition or as a BoolExpression, since it's a flag and can also have the values ON, OFF, DEFAULT.

What do you mean by duplicating the CI job?

I think something like this could also work:

[profiles.ci-main]
enabled = { if = "environ.get('CI') == 'true' and environ.get('CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME') == 'main'" }
no-status-rc = true

[profiles.ci-branch]
enabled = { if = "environ.get('CI') == 'true' and environ.get('CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME') != 'main'" }
no-status-rc = false

Just had a similar idea after i had posted about duplicating the job 😬

#######
# CI related profiles
#######

[profiles.ci]
enabled = { if = "environ.get('CI', False)" }
inherits = ["headless", "only-on-main", "never-on-main"]

[profiles.only-on-main]
hidden=true
enabled = { if = "environ.get('CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME') == 'main'" }
no-status-rc = true

[profiles.never-on-main]
hidden=true
enabled = { if = "environ.get('CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME') != 'main'" }
no-status-rc = false

What I did not take in to account is that I still have to provide ci on commandline. I had expected the enabled properties being evaluated automatically.

So above config works when executing robotcode -p ci ...... in pipeline. It automatically detects which one of the other 2 profiles must be enabled.

You have to use the default-profiles setting.
