Installation on Linux

● Intall PIP easy_install pip

● Install Python pip install python

● Install Jyton (Optinal) sudo apt-get install jython

● Install robot framework pip install robotframework | easy_install robotframework

● Install ride (The IDE for robot test case writing) pip install robotframework-ride | easy_install robotframework-ride

● Install Selenium2Library - Selenium implementation compatible with robot pip install robotframework-selenium2library | easy_install robotframework-selenium2library

Installation on Windows

- Windows Installer

● Separate graphical installers for 32 bit and 64 bit Windows systems● robotframework-<version>.win-amd64.exe

- Stand-alone JAR package

● Robot Framework is also available as a stand-alone robotframework.jar package.

● This package contains Jython and thus requires only JVM○ java -jar robotframework.jar run [options] data_sources

- Use Python package installers

- Install from Source

Support for different runtimes

Selenium2Library Vs Webdriver API

Selenium 2 Webdriver Iterating TableC# Example

public void VerifyTable(string header, string expected) { IWebElement table = _driverWithJs.FindElement(By.XPath("//div[@id='main']/table")); ReadOnlyCollection<IWebElement> allRows = table.FindElements(By.TagName("tr")); for (int z = 0; z < allRows.Count; z++) { ReadOnlyCollection<IWebElement> cells = allRows[z].FindElements(By.TagName("td")); for (int y = 0; y < cells.Count; y++) { var value = allRows[z].FindElements(By.TagName("td"))[y].Text; if (value.Equals(header)) { Assert.AreEqual(expected, allRows[z].FindElements(By.TagName("td"))[y + 1].Text); } } } }

Robot keyword for Iterating Table

Table Should Contain table_locator, expected, loglevel=INFO

Selenium2Library

● Lookup Strategy

Maven Plugin

● Robot Framework in a Maven project without the need to install anything extra.

<plugin> <groupId>org.robotframework</groupId> <artifactId>robotframework-maven-plugin</artifactId> <version>1.4.2</version> <executions> <execution> <goals> <goal>run</goal> </goals> </execution> </executions> </plugin>

Ant Task

● RobotAnt is a ant task for using robotframework inside ant build scripts.

<robotant data_sources="TestSelenium.html" loglevel="INFO" debugfile="jybot.log" outputdir="results" maxmemory="512m"> <classpath> <pathelement location="libext/robotframework-2.5.5.jar"/> <pathelement location="lib/Lib"/> </classpath></robotant>

External variable files

● External file to declare variables.

● To follow DRY (Don’t repeat yourself)

● Can be created in python or java files.
