Robot Framework keyword library wrapper for Faker <https://github.com/joke2k/faker>__.

This module allows easy use of Faker's random test data generation in Robot Framework. I hate using static test data, because inevitably the system under test evolves to pass the tests without necessarily solving the root cause of bugs.

Any docstrings Faker provides are passed through to Robot Framework, so they're available in RIDE and in keyword documentation generated via libdoc.

For more information on Robot Framework please visit the Robot Framework homepage! <http://robotframework.org/>__

Installation

pip install robotframework-faker

Faker package dependency

Starting with FakerLibrary v6.0.0, the corresponding version of Faker Python package is no longed pinned in its requirements. It will be up to the users of this library to select and, if decided upon, to pin the version in their own setup and CI environments. Note this means the keyword documentation may not match that on the users system.
