How to specify range of testcases to rerun in Robot Framework?

Question

I have testcases 1 to 10 like,

testcase1
.
.
.
testcase2
.
.
.
testcase3
.
.
.
testcase(n)

I want to give rerun of testcases from 5 to 9. I am using following command now:

"pybot -t testcase5 testcase6 testcase7 testcase8 testcase9 example.robot"

Instead, how to specify this with range like "testcase5-9"?

You can't specify range in command line options.

What you can do in described in the section Using command line options of the User Guide.

So for example, what you can do is pybot -t testcase* example.robot but that will run all your tests.

Options you have:

rename tests that you might want to relaunch together: testcase_a1, testcase_a2, testcase_b1, and testcase_b1 => then launch -t testcase_a*
use some tags to create sub-groups of tests (and then launch them with --include)
use --rerunfailed if what you want to do is re-launched the failed tests
