Prerequisites

• Python 3.10+
• Node.js 18+ (required by Browser Library's Playwright engine)

Installation

1. Create and activate virtual environment:

python -m venv .venv

# Windows
.venv\Scripts\activate

# Linux/Mac
source .venv/bin/activate

2. Install dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Initialize Browser Library (downloads Playwright browsers):

rfbrowser init

Running Tests

Run the entire suite:

robot --outputdir results tests/

Run a specific test file:

robot --outputdir results tests/forms.robot

Run tests by tag:

robot --outputdir results --include alerts tests/

Run in headed mode (visible browser):

robot --outputdir results --variable HEADLESS:false tests/

Run with a specific browser:

robot --outputdir results --variable BROWSER:firefox tests/

Run a single test case:

robot --outputdir results --test "Page Title Is Correct" tests/home.robot

Important Notes

CSS Selectors with ID

In Robot Framework, the # character starts a comment. To use CSS ID selectors, prefix with css=:

# Correct
Click    css=#my-button

# Wrong - everything after # is treated as comment
Click    #my-button

Browser Library Keywords

This suite uses Browser Library (Playwright-based). Key differences from SeleniumLibrary:

• Fill Text instead of Input Text
• Get Property instead of Get Element Attribute for DOM properties
• Get Attribute for HTML attributes
• Promise-based alert handling with Promise To and Wait For
• >>> for iframe piercing (e.g., css=#iframe >>> css=#element)

Test Coverage

Page	Test Count	Coverage
Home	16	Navigation, cards, hero, footer, links
Forms	28	All input types, validation, submission
Interactions	22	Drag-drop, clicks, hover, keyboard, slider
Widgets	23	Accordion, tabs, modal, tooltip, progress
Tables	23	Static, sortable, searchable, paginated, editable
Alerts	18	JS alerts, confirm, prompt, toasts, inline
Windows	14	Iframe, nested iframe, scrollable
Files	14	Upload, download, restricted types
Dynamic	22	Delayed, AJAX, toggle, countdown, infinite scroll
Broken	24	Broken images/links, hidden, empty elements

Total: ~204 test cases

Tags

Each test file uses a tag matching its page name:

• home, forms, interactions, widgets, tables
• alerts, windows, files, dynamic, broken

Troubleshooting

Browser not found

Run rfbrowser init to download Playwright browsers.

Tests timing out

Increase timeout in variables.resource or per-test:

Get Text    css=#slow-element    contains    expected    timeout=30s

Headless issues

Run in headed mode to debug:

robot --variable HEADLESS:false tests/
