Applitools Example: Robot Framework

Applitools Example: Robot Framework

This is the example project for the Robot Framework tutorial. It shows how to start automating visual tests with Applitools Eyes and Robot Framework.

It uses:

• Robot Framework as the core test framework
• Python as the programming platform underneath Robot Framework
• Selenium WebDriver for browser automation underneath Robot Framework
• Google Chrome as the local browser for testing
• pip for dependency management
• Applitools Eyes for visual testing

It can also run tests with:

• Applitools Ultrafast Grid for cross-browser execution

To run this example project, you'll need:

1. An Applitools account, which you can register for free
2. Python 3 version 3.6 or higher
3. A good editor with Robot Framework support like Visual Studio Code
4. An up-to-date version of Google Chrome
5. A corresponding version of ChromeDriver

To install dependencies, run:

pip install -r requirements.txt

The main test case spec is acme_bank.robot. By default, the project will run tests with Ultrafast Grid. You can control how Applitools runs by changing the EyesLibrary runner setting.

To execute tests, set the APPLITOOLS_API_KEY environment variable to your account's API key, and then run:

robot acme_bank.robot
