To install Robot Framework, you need to pre-installed the following items:
- Python 2 or 3
- Selenium
- PIP
- PATH setting in Environment Variables
See How to Install Python, PIP, Selenium, Chrome Driver post if you already have not the above things.
Install Robot:
Open CMD as an administrator user.
Type:
pip install robotframework --user
pip install robotframework-selenium2library --user
After completion you can start working on the Robot framework.
You can simply create a .txt file and put the following codes to check the Robot framework is working or not:
*** Settings *** Library Selenium2Library Suite Setup Go to homepage Suite Teardown Close All Browsers *** Variables *** ${HOMEPAGE} http://mytestsite/wp-admin ${BROWSER} chrome ${user} abc@example.com ${pass} password *** Test Cases *** Open Browser To Login Page Input Username abc@example.com Input Password password Submit Credentials *** Keywords *** Open Browser To Login Page Maximize Browser Window Open Browser ${HOMEPAGE} ${BROWSER} Login Page Should Be Open Go to homepage Open Browser ${HOMEPAGE} ${BROWSER} Input Username [Arguments] ${username} Input Text id=user_login ${username} Input Password [Arguments] ${password} Input Text id=user_pass ${password} Submit Credentials Click Button xpath=//input[contains(@id, 'wp-submit')]
Save this code in a text file like, demo-robot.txt
Now from CMD or terminal type
pybot demo-robot.txt
It will run the script and generate the detail report, log file and other necessary output.
You can also save the file as robot file like, debo-robot.robot
It that case you need to add “C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\robot” in your Environment Variable.
Now type the following code to run the robot script:
robot demo-robot.robot
Please Note: If you are using any IDE like Pycharm, some notification will appear after installing Robot framework, which will say that there are some plugins for Robot, do you want to install it or not. In that case you should install it in the IDE.
