How do i run the command 'ipconfig' in cmd prompt using robot framework.
running below code gives me the complete result. I just need IPV4 Address.
${frt}= | Run | ipconfig
Log ${frt}
Although it would propably be more effective of use a custom Python library, it is possible to accomplish with regular Robot Framework:
*** Settings ***
Library OperatingSystem
Library String
*** Test Cases ***
Test IPConfig
${frt}= Run ipconfig | find "IPv4"
${IP}= Fetch From Right ${frt} ${SPACE}
Log To Console [${IP}]
Create .bat file and write your commands in that. If your .bat file located in other folder then use cd commands and then your required commands
Example of bat file like
cd C:\robotFramework\runner
java abc.class
Use following Keyords
Run xyz.bat : for this use Library OperatingSystem
Or
Run Process xyz.bat : for this use Library Process

The bash script works when I run it manually, but not when a robot runs it. Any ideas?
I'm willing to make a bet that the issue is with working directory.
Try changing:
Run Process /Users/jcastro2/code/flutter/arkiteki/build_deploy.sh shell=yes
to:
Run Process /Users/jcastro2/code/flutter/arkiteki/build_deploy.sh shell=yes cwd=/Users/jcastro2/code/flutter/arkiteki/

I want to know the status of the virtual machine
In Command Prompt by executing the below command
C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox>vboxmanage showvminfo Linux |find "State:"
I got output as
=>State: running (since 2020-09-30T06:00:01.824000000)
the same thing when I tried in robot framework(RIDE)
#${result}= Run process C:\\Program Files\\Oracle\\VirtualBox\\VBoxManage showvminfo Linux |find "State:"
I am getting error as -
Syntax error: Invalid parameter '|find'
Can someone help how to use |find in robot framework.
Piping eg, using | character is shell feature. If you want to run shell commands or using features from it, you need to tell Run Process to run it inside a shell by adding shell=yes to your Run Process keyword.
This is documented in https://robotframework.org/robotframework/latest/libraries/Process.html#Process%20configuration and a section below it called Running processes in shell
I am using RIDE 1.3 using robotframework 2.8.7 running on Python 2.7.6. To execute my test I use jybot. The Jython version is Jython 2.5.3. I have an output XML generate from a previous run with failed cases. Now I need to selectively execute only the failed cases from the XML.
I have tried using the Command -R --rerunfailed [xml_path] by inserting it in the arguments tab of RIDE. But this command is unrecognised by the editor so I use -R [xml_path] instead which does not throw any errors.
Finally, when I start executing the suite I expect only the failed results from the suite to run but the entire suite runs as if the command has no effect. The suite from previous run and current run is same but the suite is large and output.xml generated is huge (~100 MB).
How can I execute only failed cases?
Robot Framework provides the File Should Exist Keyword in both OperatingSystem and SSHLibrary. This is true for some other Keywords as well but just taking this as an example.
My question is how do I tell my test case which Keyword I am intending to use?
I believe File Should Exist from OperatingSystem works on the local file system (where the TC is being run) and the File Should Exist from SSHLibrary works on the remote server file system. Or am I wrong here too?
You can use both keywords by prefixing the library's name to the keyword.
*** Test Cases ***
Sample Test
SSHLibrary.File Should Exit ${args}
OperatingSystem.File Should Exist ${args}
You'll find more about handling keywords with the same name in the user guide.
You are right. File Should Exist from OperatingSystem works on the local file system (where the TC is being run) and the File Should Exist from SSHLibrary works on the remote server file system.
But you are connecting to a remote system from local. After connecting to remote if you want to do some operation on local you can by using the OperatingSystem library keywords.
So, when you have keywords with the same name in different libraries use the library name as prefix.
*** Test Cases ***
Sample Test
SSHLibrary.File Should Exit ${args}
SSHLibrary.Get File <filename>
OperatingSystem.File Should Exist ${args}
In the above case even though you connected to remote system, still you can do operations on local system.
I am new to robot framework and wanted to see if i can run test cases without RIDE. I want to create test suite and run test cases sequentially without using RIDE. I went through documentation but could not understand it.
Ex: Test Suite
Test Case 1
Test Case 2
Test Case 3
i would like to put my references to all my resource files to test suite and run all test cases. I can do this using RIDE but wanted to know if i can do this without using it. Do i need to create batch file to do this or any other method to run? Any example will help me. Thank you for advance.
When you install robot, you also installed a program called robot (or pybot in older versions), which is the official robot test runner.
If you have a test suite named "my_tests.robot", you can open up a command prompt (bash on *nix, powershell or command.exe on windows) and type the following command (assuming that robot is in your PATH environment variable, which it probably is):
$ robot my_tests.robot
If you have a collection of suites in a folder, you can give pybot the name of the folder rather than the name of a test file.
To see a list of all robot command line options, use the --help option:
$ robot --help
For more information see Starting test execution in the robot framework users guide.
if you use sublime-text/bracket/Atom/Emacs/vim ... you also have some plug-in :
http://robotframework.org/#tools
Show the path of test suite
exmp: Location of my 'catiav6' test script_
cd C:\Users....\Desktop\catiav6
Run following command from cmd
For single test case:
pybot --test 'Name_of_single_test_case' 'Name_of_test_suite'
For all test cases:
pybot --test * 'Name_of_test_suite'
