robotframework: [ ERROR ] Execution stopped by user

Question

i´m trying to figure out an error message from robotframework (Jenkins 2.289.2). It is the error:

[ ERROR ] Execution stopped by user.

I try set set up some robot test cases with python (3.92) on Linux (OpenSuse). I have a simple testprogramm in python which is called by a shell (which in turn is configured in the robot pipeline):

#!/bin/bash python -m robot /home/john/robotest/fuenf.robot

in "fuenf.robot" i make a simple call to a member function of a class which i instantiated in the Library section

Socket Call

${ausgabe} =    test Prog

The python code sniplet:

def test_Prog(self):
    print("Test ....   test     ....      test  .....    test   ...     ")
    return

which is working when called from python interpreter The robot pipeline is:

pipeline {
    agent any 
    stages {
        stage('Stage 1') {
            steps {
                sh "/bin/bash /home/john/robotest/calltest05.bash"
            }
        }
    }
}

When i look into the jenkins pipeline step output:

hudson.AbortException: script returned exit code 253 at org.jenkinsci.plugins.workflow.steps.durable_task.DurableTaskStep$Execution.handleExit(DurableTaskStep.java:659) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.workflow.steps.durable_task.DurableTaskStep$Execution.check(DurableTaskStep.java:605) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.workflow.steps.durable_task.DurableTaskStep$Execution.run(DurableTaskStep.java:549) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.Executors$RunnableAdapter.call(Executors.java:515) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(FutureTask.java:264) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor$ScheduledFutureTask.run(ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor.java:304) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1128) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker .run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:628) at java.base/java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:834)

The console output gives:

Running in Durability level: MAX_SURVIVABILITY
[Pipeline] Start of Pipeline
[Pipeline] node

[ ERROR ] Execution stopped by user.
[Pipeline] }
[Pipeline] // stage
[Pipeline] }
[Pipeline] // node
[Pipeline] End of Pipeline
ERROR: script returned exit code 253
Finished: FAILURE

I can try what i like, in every combination, i get the error:

[ ERROR ] Execution stopped by user.

I have no idea why this is happening or where to look at.

Answer 1

This

• /bin/bash /home/john/robotest/calltest05.bash

returned 253 and Jenkins is expecting 0.

If that shell script calls some process kill it may cause the Execution stopped by user. error.
