One 、 Brief introduction

Robotframework： It's based on Python Language Developed , Extensible , yes Keyword driven mode Automatic testing framework of ,Robotframework The latest version is 2019 year 7 in ,7 Before the month, only python2.7,7 Support after months 3.X Version of

First of all, let's talk about it briefly 【 Keyword driven mode 】 and 【 Data driven mode 】 The meaning of ：

• Keyword driven mode ： That is to put Some logic is encapsulated into keywords （ A function name ）, Then we can call Different keywords The combination realizes different business logic , So as to drive the execution of test cases
  for example ：UI In automation , Each use case step can be written as a method , And then in robot Directly reference this method name in

• in addition Data driven mode ： Namely Realize parameterized data
  for example ： stay API In automation , For example, for the framework pytest/unittest, We usually implement parameterization , Put your Parameters are uniformly written in external files (excel、yaml、txt、csv…) in , Then parameterize the request by reading the external file , In this case, we only need to maintain and change your external files , Commonly used packages ：@ddt

Robotframework characteristic ：

1） Editing use cases is simple , We can use robot,txt,tsv perhaps html Write use cases in the format of 

2） Automatic generation html Format test report and log (HtmlTestRunner.py,allure)

3） Not only has its own class library :
		Buitini( Test library ) 
		Collections( Collection library ) 
		Date Time( Time bank ) 
		ScreenShot( Screenshot Library )
 There are also many other practical class extension libraries :
		SeleniumLibrary（web automated testing ）
		RequestsLibrary（ Interface automation testing ）
		AppiumLibrary（APP automated testing ）

4） You can customize some keywords according to the needs of the project 

5） have access to GUI How to run , You can talk to SVN perhaps GIT And Jenkins Continuous integration

Two 、RobotFramework download

#robotframework
pip install robotframework==3.1.2

#ride, Can be done GUI operation 
pip install robotframework-ride==1.7.4.1

#  After downloading, all the extension libraries will be placed in python\Lib\site-packages Under the folder 
# web Automated third-party libraries , Conduct UI Download during automatic operation ,
pip install robotframework-selenium2library 3.0.0
pip install robotframework-seleniumlibrary  4.3.0
#  Interface automation test library 
pip install robotframework-requests 
# appui Automated third-party libraries 
pip install robotframework-appiumlibrary

3、 ... and 、Ride Basic use

1、 establish ride Desktop shortcuts

• Normally install robotframework-ride You will be automatically prompted to create a desktop shortcut , But occasionally the creation fails , So let's talk about it here ride Shortcut creation

#  Icon path ： Yours python Under the path \Lib..
D:\Mikasa_develop\Python36\Lib\site-packages\robotide\widgets\robot.ico

---

2、 Common shortcut key

# 1、 Search keywords 
F5

# 2、 Keyword auto completion 
ctrl+shift+ Space

Four 、 Simple robot Use case practice

1、 Create project (New Project)

• File --> New Project,Type choice Directory,Format choice Robot

---

2、 Create a module (New Directory)

• Right click on the item --> choice New Directory

---

3、 Create a test suite (New Suite)

• Right click on the module --> choice New Suite

---

4、 Create test cases (New Test Case)

• Right click Suite --> choice New Test Case

---

5、 Create a resource file (New Resource)

• The resource file is 【 Custom keywords 】 The carrier of
  Be careful ： It can only be created under the folder , And is txt Format

---

6、 Create business keywords (New User Keyword)

• Create a new business keyword under the resource file

---

7、 Common keyword use case writing

• These are robot Common keywords , But in fact, in our own project UI/App When automating , We usually use custom keywords

---

• Be careful ： About the solution of coding, you can see this article in detail , I won't talk too much
