QUESTION
I have written a single test case in robot framework that fetches data about more than 1000 locations from an excel sheet and runs each location. This whole execution takes more than 12 hours to complete. I want to minimize the execution time. Is there any possibility to execute it parallelly. I have gone through Pabot but that executes all test cases parallelly and I have only one test case.
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Dec-24 at 16:22No, there is no way for robot to split up a test case into multiple parallel threads or processes.
If you want multiple keywords to run in parallel, you'll have to rewrite your test suite to contain multiple tests, or create your own keywords to do work in parallel threads or processes.

ANSWER
Answered 2021-Jul-13 at 09:23According to this, looks like Rabbitmq library can be installed only with 3.0.4 version.
In this topic it was suggested to install rabbit first and then after it run pip install --upgrade robotframework, which worked pretty well.
So, install RF==3.0.4, install RMQ library and then upgrade FR to newest version.
QUESTION
I have created a pabot slave on jenkins which include python, Xvfb and chromedriver. But I try to run my scenario on that pod it give me error below. Even PATH has chromedriver directory.
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Mar-16 at 15:03When it says it can't find the Chrome binary, it's not talking about chromedriver. It's talking about the actual chrome browser. Those are two different things.
In addition to having the location of chromedriver on your PATH, you also need to have the location of chrome on your PATH. I don't know what's in the base docker image, but it might be that it doesn't have chrome installed.
QUESTION
I have installed Robot Framework for multiple machines. There are python2 and python3 and packeges for them on both. The process of the installation was the same. On machine A there are more Execution Profile (jybot, pybot, robot, robot 3.1) while on the other (B) there are only jybot and pybot if I start RIDE with python2 and jybot and robot if python3.
What is the difference, or how can I add more Execution Profiles for RIDE?
- Python 2.7.11
- robotframework==3.0
- robotframework-ride==1.5.2.1
- Python 3.7.4
- robotframework==3.1.2
- robotframework-ride==1.7.3.1
There is no robotframework related difference in PATH
EDIT
Machine A
python2 robotframework related packages
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Dec-17 at 11:15The detection of robot executable is not dependent on the version of RIDE, but on the installed version in Python. But this may result in different robot being executed when running tests. When the test is executed, it should use the robot as it would if launched from command line.
Like was mentioned by Bence Kaulics, pybotwas renamed to robot from certain version. And in version 3.1.x, robot was changed to an executable instead of a .bat file (in Windows). That was the reason to have both robot and robot 3.1. So, in Windows, when selecting robotyou may be executing a robot.cmd script. The same is valid for pybot.bat with profile pybot.
EDIT:
You can compare the settings.cfg file from the two machines. See it at ~/.robotframework/ride/settings.cfg (or %APPDATA%\robotframework\ride\settings.cfg ), on the [Plugins][[Test Runner]] section, the run_profiles property is defined there.
QUESTION
If i do the execution in local it is working fine with the same command, But if i hit the same command in Jenkins Getting below error. Can someone please guide me on this.
As per my understanding this is an issue with IF ELSE coniditions. If i remove that conditoins and execute my script it is working fine. for IF ELSE condition we need to follow some order.If i keep my ELSE statement in very next to IF block we are getting different error. I update my code. M not sure still what order i need to follow

QUESTION
Today, Suddenly my robot Runner.py was not working. Basically Runner.py contains the command line commands to run my robot testcases based on the tags. Evreytime when the Runner.py is ran, a requirements.txt file will be executed and all the libraries in it will be installed by python intepreter.
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Aug-12 at 17:50It is not easy to understand what is going on. When you say:
Till Yesterday all this commands were working perfectly, but today it was not working, the first error I got is
unexpected error: valueerror: not enough values to unpack (expected 3, got 1) robot
The first thing you need is to identify where that error is coming from. Maybe the omitted lines before the error, could help to do that.
One problem I see in this (strange) way to install and run robot, is the fact that you do not set specific versions for the packages. If a new version of a package causes and error, then you may be in the current situation.
QUESTION
I have created files
valuset.dat:
ANSWER
Answered 2020-Jun-29 at 07:56It seems there're two options:
You create the same test suite twice and later run your suites like
$ pabot --pabotlib --resourcefile valuset.dat tests. This way, one test suite will pick up values under[Server1], and the other values under[Server2]. The disadvantage is you duplicate code.You can define multiple argument files on the command line like so:
$ pabot --pabotlib --argumentfile1 arg1.txt --argumentfile2 arg2.txt tests. So you need to create these two argument file:
arg1.txt:
QUESTION
I need to send a list of 100 variables which are already in a variable file to pabot as part of argument file argument as shown below, the reason we are making use of argumentfiles is that , we have configurations which are coming from multiple machines that are in their own variables file, we are planning to create multiple argumentfile for the respective machines and initiate testsuites on all the machines at once. Hence, we are looking for embedding variablesfile inside an argumentsfile instead of providing all 100 variables as individual key value pairs.
According to pabot documentation, --variablefile is not supported, when i make use of --variablefile instead of --variable , i see the following error. is there any otherway we can pass variablesfile inside argumentsfile? OR is there any other better approach to achieve this?
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Jan-06 at 18:28After many hours of searching documentation and looking for answers on the web, the issue ended up with space. This is one of the things they could have really improved about the framework. This is pretty frustrating!!
The issue is with space(NOT TAB) in between option --variablefile FILENAME
