Test Setup broken about robotframework-pageobjectlibrary HOT 5 CLOSED

Can you please provide a test case? What you say sounds impossible - the page object library is just keywords, it doesn't affect how robot runs tests.

What is "the keyword Test Setup"? And what is my_step?

When using your page object library, if you try to use the keyword
Test Setup

the my_step is never run. Suit Setup, Suit Teardown and Test Teardown runs ok. Only Test setup is not run.

Test Setup is the basic keyword in robot framework --> http://robotframework.org/robotframework/latest/RobotFrameworkUserGuide.html#test-setup-and-teardown

my_step is just a example placeholder. You could put any keyword there.

I'm running the testes on Ubuntu 16, using python 2.7, virtual environments.
A test case for this problem is simple to do:

create a keyword Open Test Browser
this keyword should open a firefox browser

Now in setup add the following

Test Setup    Open Test Browser
Suite Setup
Test Teardown    Close All Browsers

Now just add 2 tests. For example just open google and type anything on it.
The expected outcome is that for each test, robot opens a browser for the test, do something then close the browser.

Now the behavior I'm observing is as follow: If i let Open Test Browser on Test Setup it's not run. But if i put it on Suite Setup it runs once (as expected). Just that it only runs for the 1st test.

I am not able to duplicate this, and I can't think of how it is even possible for the page object library to cause a test setup to not work. When I did as you instructed, each test opened and then closed a new browser window as expected.

Sorry, but I'm going to have to close this since you didn't provide a complete test case I could use to duplicate the problem, and I can't duplicate it based on your description.

I know this is a 4 year old thread, but I came upon this issue as well. Thing is that the reason this is happening is due to a conflict on the [Setup] tag, on the test cases level. If you try to have the "Test Setup" tag on the settings along with the [Setup] tag on the test case level, then a failure will occur

This sounds like robot is working as designed. Are you saying this only happens when using the page object library? Robot is designed for the [Setup] inside a test to override the Test Setup setting.

If the is happening only when using the page object library, please provide an example.
