GitHub - comick/node-robotremoteserver: A node.js module providing the robot framework remote library interface (original) (raw)

robotremote

A node.js module providing the robot framework remote library interface. Also provide convenient remote library interface client.

Installation

Install robot framework first. Then:

$ npm install robotremote

Example

Just little example with main features. Test folder contains better extensive examples for more features.

examplelibrary.js:

'use strict';

const { readdir } = require('fs').promises; const robot = require('../lib/robotremote'); const assert = require('assert');

var lib = module.exports;

/**

• Example of asynchronous keyword.
• You can implement asynchronous keywords just returning an A+ promise.
• Promise can be resolved or rejected with respectively:
• • arbitrary return value, or
• • an instance of Error if the keyword failed
• Just count items in given directory.
• @param path directory path to count item in. */ lib.countItemsInDirectory = async (path) => (await readdir(path)).length; // The doc attribute is used for inspection on the command line of client and doc generation. // It's optional and defaults to empty string when missing. lib.countItemsInDirectory.doc = 'Returns the number of items in the directory specified by path.';

/**

• Example synchronous keyword.
• Any keyword which does not return an A+ promise is considered sync.
• The following are considered successes:
• • the keyword returns undefined (that is doesn't return any value)
• • the keyword return any other value
• While any thrown Error instance will lead the keyword failure.
• Each keyword also have the output writer, which enables logging at various levels.
• Here warn level is showed as an example.
• All robot levels are supported including messages with timestamp through timestampLevel function.
• See http://robotframework.org/robotframework/latest/RobotFrameworkUserGuide.html#logging-information
• @param str1
• @param str2 */ lib.stringsShouldBeEqual = function(str1, str2) { this.output.warn('Comparing '%s' to '%s'', str1, str2); assert.equal(str1, str2, 'Given strings are not equal'); };

// Run this keyword library if the library itself is called explicitly. if (!module.parent) { const server = new robot.Server([lib], { host: 'localhost', port: 8270 }); }

remote_tests.robot:

*** Settings *** Library Remote http://localhost:${PORT}

*** Variables *** ${HOST} localhost ${PORT} 8270

*** Test Cases ***

Count Items in Directory items1=CountItemsInDirectory{items1} = Count Items In Directory items1=CountItemsInDirectory{CURDIR} items2=CountItemsInDirectory{items2} = Count Items In Directory items2=CountItemsInDirectory{TEMPDIR} Log items1itemsin′{items1} items in 'items1itemsin′{CURDIR}' and items2itemsin′{items2} items in 'items2itemsin′{TEMPDIR}'

Failing Example Strings Should Be Equal Hello Hello Strings Should Be Equal not equal

Run the remote server:

$ node example/examplelibrary.js

Then launch tests:

$ pybot example/remote_tests.robot

Using botclient.js:

The botclient.js command line utility can be useful to test keywords of any compliant running robot remote server.

An example session with the example keywords library follows:

$ node ./bin/botclient.js localhost 8270 Connected to remote server at "localhost:8270" Available keywords: stopRemoteServer, countItemsInDirectory, stringsShouldBeEqual localhost:8270> keywords.countItemsInDirectory { [Function] args: [ 'path' ], docs: 'Returns the number of items in the directory specified by path.' } localhost:8270> keywords.stringsShouldBeEqual { [Function] args: [ 'str1', 'str2' ], docs: '' } localhost:8270> keywords.stringsShouldBeEqual('ciao', 'ciao').done(console.log) undefined localhost:8270> { output: 'WARN Comparing 'ciao' to 'ciao'\n', status: 'PASS', return: '' }

Keywords are available in context in the keywords dictionary. When called they return an A+ promise.
