## How to Run It
|
|
6
|
|
|
7
|
### 1. Install pip
|
|
8
|
|
|
9
|
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
|
|
12
|
|
|
13
|
`pip install robotframework`
|
|
14
|
`pip install robotframework-selenium2library`
|
|
15
|
|
|
16
|
### 3. Install browser controlling driver
|
|
17
|
|
|
18
|
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.
|
|
19
|
|
|
20
|
There are basically two options:
|
|
21
|
1. [geckodriver](https://github.com/mozilla/geckodriver/releases)
|
|
22
|
2. **[chromedriver](https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/downloads)** (default)
|
|
23
|
|
|
24
|
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.
|
|
25
|
|
|
26
|
### 4. Run Robot Framework
|
|
27
|
|
|
28
|
Assuming you have Python's Scripts folder added to your `Path`, you should be able to run all test suits:
|
|
29
|
|
|
30
|
`robot ./`
|
|
31
|
|
|
32
|
To set a custom output folder, use option `--outputdir`:
|
|
33
|
|
|
34
|
`robot --outputdir ./output ./`
|
|
35
|
|
|
36
|
To run a single test suit, point to that file:
|
|
37
|
|
|
38
|
`robot --outputdir ./output ./graph.robot`
|
|
39
|
|
|
40
|
To run a particular test from a test suite, use option `--test`:
|
|
41
|
|
|
42
|
`robot --outputdir ./output --test "General" ./graph.robot`
|
|
43
|
|
|
44
|
### 5. Check results
|
|
45
|
|
|
46
|
In your output folder (`./` by default), there should be a HTML file called `report.html`. It contains additional details about executed test runs.
