To install using pip
::
pip install robotframework-debuglibrary
NOTICE: 2.0 is not compatible with python 2
DebugLibrary
>= 2.0.0 supports Python versions 3.x only.
If you still using python 2.7, please use DebugLibrary
< 2.0.0 ::
pip install 'robotframework-debuglibrary<2'
You can use this as a library, import DebugLibrary
and call Debug
or Debug If
keywords in your test files like this::
*** Settings ***
Library DebugLibrary
** test case **
SOME TEST
# some keywords...
Debug
# some else...
${count} = Get Element Count name:div_name
Debug If ${count} < 1
Or you can run it standalone as a RobotFramework
shell::
$ rfdebug
[...snap...]
>>>>> Enter interactive shell
> help
Input Robotframework keywords, or commands listed below.
Use "libs" or "l" to see available libraries,
use "keywords" or "k" to see the list of library keywords,
use the TAB keyboard key to autocomplete keywords.
Documented commands (type help <topic>):
========================================
EOF continue docs help keywords libs ll n pdb selenium
c d exit k l list longlist next s step
> log hello
> get time
< '2011-10-13 18:50:31'
> # use TAB to auto complete commands
> BuiltIn.Get Time
< '2011-10-13 18:50:39'
> import library String
> get substring helloworld 5 8
< 'wor'
> # define variables as you wish
> ${secs} = Get Time epoch
# ${secs} = 1474814470
> Log to console ${secs}
1474814470
> @{list} = Create List hello world
# @{list} = ['hello', 'world']
> Log to console ${list}
['hello', 'world']
> &{dict} = Create Dictionary name=admin email=admin@test.local
# &{dict} = {'name': 'admin', 'email': 'admin@test.local'}
> Log ${dict.name}
> # print value if you input variable name only
> ${list}
[u'hello', u'world']
> ${dict.name}
admin
> # start a selenium server quickly
> help selenium
Start a selenium webdriver and open url in browser you expect.
s(elenium) [<url>] [<browser>]
default url is google.com, default browser is firefox.
> selenium google.com chrome
# import library SeleniumLibrary
# open browser http://google.com chrome
< 1
> close all browsers
> Ctrl-D
>>>>> Exit shell.
The interactive shell support auto-completion for robotframework keywords and
commands. Try input BuiltIn.
then type <TAB>
key to feeling it.
The history will save at ~/.rfdebug_history
default or any file
defined in environment variable RFDEBUG_HISTORY
.
In case you don't remember the name of keyword during using rfdebug
,
there are commands libs
or ls
to list the imported libraries and
built-in libraries, and keywords <lib name>
or k
to list
keywords of a library.
rfdebug
accept any pybot
arguments, but by default, rfdebug
disabled all logs with -l None -x None -o None -L None -r None
.
Step debugging
DebugLibrary
support step debugging since version 2.1.0
.
You can use step
/s
, next
/n
, continue
/c
,
list
/l
and longlist
/ll
to trace and view the code
step by step like in pdb
::
$ robot some.robot
[...snap...]
>>>>> Enter interactive shell
> l
Please run `step` or `next` command first.
> s
.> /Users/xyb/some.robot(7)
-> log to console hello
=> BuiltIn.Log To Console hello
> l
2 Library DebugLibrary
3
4 ** test case **
5 test
6 debug
7 -> log to console hello
8 log to console world
> n
hello
.> /Users/xyb/some.robot(8)
-> log to console world
=> BuiltIn.Log To Console world
> c
>>>>> Exit shell.
world
Note: Single-step debugging does not support FOR
loops currently.
Bugs and enhancements are tracked in the issue tracker <https://github.com/xyb/robotframework-debuglibrary/issues>
_.
Before submitting a new issue, it is always a good idea to check is the same bug or enhancement already reported. If it is, please add your comments to the existing issue instead of creating a new one.
If you want to develop and run DebugLibrary locally, you can use ::
$ python DebugLibrary/shell.py tests/step.robot
shell.py
is calling robot
through a child process, so it will interrupt
python debugging capabilities. If you want to debug in tools like vscode,
pdb, you should run ::
$ python -m robot tests/step.robot
If you want to run the test, please install the dependency packages first and then execute the test ::
$ python -m pip install setuptools
$ python setup.py develop
$ python setup.py test
Since RF takes over stdout, debugging information can be output with ::
import sys
print('some information', file=sys.stdout)
