• Selenium Grid
• CircleCI

• tests : Directory of test robot files.
• lib : Directory of library of robot keywords and python files.
• lib/pages : Directory of robot files for each page/component keywords.
• resources : Directory of scripts and variable file.
• requirements.txt : Dependecies list for pip.
• .python-version : Python version for pyenv.

• Python 3 - 3.9.0 and using pyenv is recommended. See docs to get started. Pyenv command
• Browser installations for local execution

• Install python 3.9.0 if pyenv is installed and configured correctly

pyenv install 3.9.0

• cd to project directory

cd /path/to/robot-youtube-sample

• Check pyenv switched to correct python version. Output should match to same version.

pyenv local
python -V

• Create virtual environment

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

• Install dependecies

pip install -r requirements.txt

This project uses webdrivermanager for drivers dependecies

• Install chromedriver

webdrivermanager chrome

• Install geckodriver

webdrivermanager geckodriver

Pre-requisite

• Docker installed and running

Change permission of script

chmod +rwx ./resources/grid.sh

Start grid

./resources/grid.sh up

Close grid

./resources/grid.sh down

• Run test locally

robot --outputdir reports --variablefile resources/variables.yaml test/

• Run test in local grid

robot --outputdir reports --variable grid_url:http://localhost:4444/wd/hub --variablefile resources/variables.yaml tests

• Run test with different variables file Create a new yaml variable file

robot --outputdir reports --variablefile path/to/new.yaml tests/

• Override variable in variables file

robot --outputdir reports --variable searchKeyword:"dua lipa break my heart" --variablefile var.yaml test

Following reports are generated:

• reports/log.html : HTML log of test execution.
• reports/report.html : HTML summary test result.
• reports/output.xml : Robot default XML report.
