Robot Framework

Prerequisites to run robot test scripts for UI projects

1. Python 3.5 or above
2. Robot Framework
3. Robot Framework 'SeleniumLibrary' for UI test.
4. Latest Chome Driver.

Installation

1. To install Robot Framework, use 'pip install robotframework' command.
2. To install SeleniumLibrary, use 'pip install robotframework-seleniumlibrary' command.
3. Download latest Chrome Driver from 'https://chromedriver.chromium.org/' and add the directory into your OS PATH.

Development IDE and Plugins

1. I've used PyCharm as the development IDE, and used Intellibot plugins ('https://github.com/lte2000/intellibot').

Running the tests

To run the test, first go to the project location (i.e. 'practice_form_automation') using the command line, then run a test using 'robot'
command. Some commands to run the existing tests are following.

Run all the test files:

  python3 -m robot -d Results Tests

Run a test file using the default values:

  python3 -m robot -d Results Tests/PracticeForm.robot

Run a test file by specifying a variable (e.g. 'browser') in the command line:

  python3 -m robot -v BROWSER:chrome -d Results Tests/PracticeForm.robot
