i am trying to sun a C# library using the .Net remoteserver implementation. However when the test is ran using pybot, for each keyword library constructor is being called.
tried using
public static string ROBOT_LIBRARY_SCOPE = "GLOBAL";
but gives the same behavior. is this and issue or am i doing something wrong
Robot Framework 2.7.3 (Python 2.7.2 on win32) running on a 64 bit machine
test is as below

Library Remote http://127.0.0.1:8270 WITH NAME test1

*** Test Cases ***

Robot uses test suite scope with remote libraries and thus definitely should not create new instances of your library that way. Have you checked how the C# remote server handles your library?

I was using the RemoteServer class with my library class as arguments, just going through the code i can see for each call of run_keyword method will

Type classType = library.GetType(libraryClass);
object libObj = Activator.CreateInstance(classType);
MethodInfo mi = classType.GetMethod(keyword);

is this expected?

i am not familiar with xml-rpc protocol, but a simple debug shows me that for each keyword call in the client will call the run_keyword method in the server which in return create a new instance of the library

this is a bug in the.Net remoteserver implementation and reported a bug under that project

Now a bug in Robot. Closing as invalid.
