UI Tests

This folder contains a test suite for various UI interactions. Tests are written and run by Robot Framework.

How to Run It

1. Install pip

pip is a Python package management system which can be used to install Robot Framework. Get it at https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/quickstart/.

2. Install Robot Framework using pip

pip install robotframework
pip install robotframework-selenium2library

3. Install browser controlling driver

Tests written in Robot Framework have Selenium under cover. Selenium uses a headless browser to automatically interact with a webpage like a normal user would. For that, browser controller must be installed.

There are basically two options:

1. geckodriver
2. chromedriver (default)

You should put path to the driver folder to your Path. Obviously, you should have Firefox or Chrome installed too for geckodriver/chromedriver to work.

4. Run Robot Framework

Assuming you have Python’s Scripts folder added to your Path, you should be able to run all test suits:

robot ./

To set a custom output folder, use option --outputdir:

robot --outputdir ./output ./

To run a single test suit, point to that file:

robot --outputdir ./output ./graph.robot

To run a particular test from a test suite, use option --test:

robot --outputdir ./output --test "General" ./graph.robot

5. Check results

In your output folder (./ by default), there should be a HTML file called report.html. It contains additional details about executed test runs.
