How to import robotframework-selenium2library keywords

[gjemp]

Hi,
I installed with pip robotframework-selenium2library , now i wanna use it ( Library Selenium2Library ), but cant find a way how to import it as "Selenium2Library" so RED also understands it as one library. At the moment it asks me to import every class of Selenium2Library.

Hi,

You do not need to import every class. As I understand You are trying to add Selenium2Library to red.xml as Python library with setting the file name as C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\Selenium2Library\__init__.py. I suggest You to add Selenium2Library to any resource or test case file and then try to save it (autodiscovery feature should found library and generate libspecs for Your self) or just use Quick Fix (shortcut key: Ctrl+1) options if error marker will occures on Library Selenium2Library.

For more information just put the following link to your web browser when RED is running:

If I try to add "Selenium2Library/init.py" to red.xml in Refrence Library tab using Python library i get following :

RED was unable to find classes/modules inside 'C:/Users/.../AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Python35-32/Lib/site-packages/Selenium2Library/__init__.py' module

Did you install Selenium2Library via PIP?

[gjemp]

yes

[HelioGuilherme66]

@gjemp You are using Selenium2Library with Python3, the official version only supports Python 2.6-2.7.
You may try the experimental build from my fork, command:
pip3 install --pre -U https://github.com/HelioGuilherme66/robotframework-selenium2library/archive/v1.8.0b3.zip

[adam-wypych]

@HelioGuilherme66 thanks :) you are completly right :)
@gjemp without @HelioGuilherme66 I am not able even to install via PIP Selenium2Library

[gjemp]

Still same. i think i have to downgrade :(

Hello,

I think you need to add absolute path to C:\Users\...\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35-32\Lib\site-packages to PYTHONPATH in red.xml. After this just run Autodiscovering on resource or test cases with setting Library Selenium2Library.
The second solution is to add absolute path to C:\Users\...\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35-32\Lib\site-packages to PYTHONPATH in Your environment variables.

I tested this on my computer with package provided by @HelioGuilherme66 before I was installed selenium and references library via PIP.
