Research direction

Reproduce the sherlock command with the supplied data-driven Robot Framework run, then compare execution counts in output.xml, the generated HTML and JSON reports, and the console output. Trace how output.xml is interpreted for executions and keywords, and verify the result against the hundreds of test cases shown in the XML. Done means the reports no longer show zero executions for that run.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

When running
sherlock --output .\TA3S-GSFS-Automation\FLOW_TESTS-final.xml .\TA3S-GSFS-Automation --report print,html,json
we can successfully generate a report and a console output.

But the Executionsin the report are shown as 0 for all tests and keyword.
But we can see in the .xml and the .html that it was a huge test run with hundreds of test cases.

The tests use the Datadriver to do DataDriven testing. Not sure if that might be the reason why nothing is shown.
