Test Automation using Robot Framework with Selenium Library

This is a simple sample for Test Automation using Robot Framework with Selenium Library.

Requirements

1. Install VS Code or any Code Editor you're comfort with.
2. Install python, preferably version 3.9.10 (that's the one I used and having no issue).
3. Make sure pip also installed together with python. If it is not automatically installed, refer to Python Crash Course.
4. Update python to your PATH file. Refer here, this website covered configuration for Windows, Linux, and MacOS. Or, if you prefer using python version management tools, refer to this article for using pyenv.
5. Install NodeJS, this is necessary because NodeJS is needed by Browser Library.
6. Download and open this code repository on your local Code Editor and run this command :

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

   If the pip process is failed, try to downgrade your python version. I used python 3.9.10 when creating this repository (that's why I suggest it on requirements above). When I tried on different local machine with python 3.13.0 somehow the pip process is error.

Run Tests

• Run all tests :

  robot tests
  

• Run specific test :

  robot tests/{test file name using extension ".robot"}
  
  sample :
  robot tests/001.robot
  robot tests/002.robot
  robot tests/LoginPageTest.robot
  

Open Test Report

MacOs :

open report.html

Windows :

start report.html

Or just drag and drop file report.html into your Browser.

Short Repository Explanation

This sample Test Automation consists of 4 main folders :

• config

  Contains basic configuration of Variables, Settings, and Keyword wich will be used globally on this whole project
  

• log

  This folder will be filled with screenshot and logs from test execution, with one initial .txt file as placeholder only
  

• resources

  Consists of 3 more folders :
  > helpers  : contains any action which might be used globally on any pages
  > locators : contains web element for each specific web pages
  > pages    : contains actions which will be performed on each specific web pages
  

• tests

  Contains test cases
  

Apart from these 4 folders, this sample also using env.yaml file which can be used to store configuration-specific data. On this sample, URL for test is stored there :
