Robot Framework

robotframework logo

Robot Framework is an open source, easy to learn, and easy to use, yet powerful, and extendable, generic automation framework for software testing and RPA (robotic process automation). While it's original purpose was to support acceptance testing and acceptance test driven development (ATDD) of embedded software at Nokia Networks back in 2005, nowadays it is also widely used for automation of integration tests and end-to-end tests in desktop, web, and mobile development. You can use it to automate GUI based applications as well as REST, RPC, SOAP and other API, and protocol based testing. Due to it's text based nature and cli tools RF is a perfect match for agile and DevOps, and DevSecOps driven projects striving to succeed in continuous testing. It integrates very well with open source and commercial CI/CD solutions like Jenkins, CircleCI, Github Actions, and Azure Pipelines - just to name a few. It is also developer friendly and can easily be versioned with Git, and used with Docker and other container and virtualisation technologies to support building and maintaining of scalable (test) environments following the configuration as code or infrastructure as code approach. RF can be used in projects of any technology stack, and runs on any infrastructure (Windows, Mac, Linux, cloud) - it is stack and infrastructure agnostic.

Today, I stumbled upon the lack of ability to set the page load timeout defined by the W3C WebDriver standard [1]. The underlying Python Selenium implementation does provide a corresponding set_page_load_timeout method in selenium.webdriver.remote.webdriver.WebDriver [2].

Too me, it is not completely clear how this should be handled on the library level. SeleniumLibrary currently has two ki

It is good practice that repositories contain a CONTRIBUTING document in the root directory.

This makes it easy for contributors, especially first time contributors, to follow project standards and create pull requests in accordance with how the maintainers would like submissions to be made.

The format of this document is normally Markdown (.md) or reStructuredText (.rst/.rest). Both format
