Robot Framework tools

Install

pip install -e .

Running flow chart

Install custom Robot FW runner (virtual env recommended):

python utils\patch_robot.py runners\runner.py

Run task script. The tool assumes that graphml file with the same name exists together with Robot FW file:

robot --rpa test\demo1.robot

Editing flow charts

Use yED editor to edit flow charts. Save them in graphml format. Robot FW script should contain task cases with exact same names as in flow chart.

Note: Currently flow chart cannot contain multiple items with the same name.

Note: Decision branches rely on ${OUTPUT} variable. It must be set to True or False.

Running robot_flow

Help is available for sub-commands

robot_flow --help

robot_flow get-tests --help

Get tests/tasks from Robot FW file.

robot_flow get-tests test.robot

Get tests/tasks from GRAPHML file, with optional verbosity:

robot_flow list-graph task.graphml -v

Listeners

Listeners are defined in listeners directory.

Add pause between keywords

To slow down operation, delay (s) between executed keywords can be defined:

robot --listener Pauser:5 test/

Modify test case list

Get available tests:

robot_flow get-tests test/test.robot > tests.txt

(modify test list file by changing order, duplicating items, removing items)

Run updated test case list:

robot --listener Modifier:"tests.txt" test/
