I'm trying to get familiar with the robotframework using autoitlibrary to test Windows applications. I found some examples which use the Send command to type text into a notpad window.
That's what I've done so far:
*** Settings ***
Library AutoItLibrary
*** Variables ***
${app} C:/Program Files/Notepad++/notepad++.exe
*** Test Cases ***
Enter text
Run ${app}
Win Wait Active new 1 - Notepad++
Send This is just a test.
So, the Notepad++ window is opened, but then it failed with the No keyword with name 'Send' found. message. I suppose there is no Send command in the AutoItLibrary, but I also cannot find any other command which may do this job.
AutoIt is installed, and so is the wrapper by pip install robotframework-autoitlibrary.
There really exists a Send keyword in AutoIt, but supposedly not in the wrapper for robotframework.
And ideas to fix this?
UPDATE: Windows 10 (64bit in a VirtualBox), Python v3.7.6 (32bit), RF v3.1.2, RF-AutoItLibrary v1.2.4, AutoIt v3.3.14.5
The "Search Keywords" dialog in RIDE provides AutoItLibrary as a Source, but then list only a few commands. So I suppose the library is accessible, but incomplete.
import os, re, subprocess, sys
# Set path to Python directories.
programfiles = os.environ['programfiles']
if not programfiles:
exit('Failed to get programfiles')
python_dirs = [os.path.join(programfiles, 'Python35'),
os.path.join(programfiles, 'Python36'),
os.path.join(programfiles, 'Python37'),
os.path.join(programfiles, 'Python38')]
# Process each python directory.
for python_dir in python_dirs:
print('---')
# Set path to AutoItX3.dll.
autoitx_dll = os.path.join(python_dir, r'Lib\site-packages\AutoItLibrary\lib\AutoItX3.dll')
if not os.path.isfile(autoitx_dll):
print('File not found: "' + autoitx_dll + '"')
continue
# Set path to the makepy module.
makepy = os.path.join(python_dir, r'Lib\site-packages\win32com\client\makepy.py')
if not os.path.isfile(makepy):
print('File not found: "' + makepy + '"')
continue
# Generate cache using make.py.
command = [os.path.join(python_dir, 'python.exe'), makepy, autoitx_dll]
with subprocess.Popen(command, stderr=subprocess.PIPE, cwd=python_dir, universal_newlines=True) as p:
stderr = p.communicate()[1]
print(stderr.rstrip())
parameters = re.findall(r'^Generating to .+\\([A-F0-9\-]+)x(\d+)x(\d+)x(\d+)\.py$', stderr, re.M)
if len(parameters) == 1:
parameters = parameters[0]
print('Insert the next line into AutoItLibrary.__init__.py if not exist.\n'
' win32com.client.gencache.EnsureModule("{{{guid}}}", {major}, {minor}, {lcid})'
.format(guid=parameters[0],
major=parameters[1],
minor=parameters[2],
lcid=parameters[3]))
# Pause so the user can view the subprocess output.
input('Press the return key to continue...')
The generated cache done by win32com\client\makepy.py for AutoItLibrary from the setup.py is saved in the %temp%\gen_py folder. This is done only when setup.py is executed. If the %temp% directory is cleaned later, which removes the cache, then I notice keywords like Send may fail to be recognized by the robotframework.
One solution appears to be regenerating the cache. The code above will generate the cache by use of makepy.py. It may also print a message about inserting win32com.client.gencache.EnsureModule(...) into AutoItLibrary\__init__.py for any of the Python versions as needed. This will ensure the cache is available when AutoItLibrary
is imported.
Change paths in the code to suit your environment.
With further research:
AutoItLibrary currently has AutoItX 3.3.6.1 and latest AutoIt has AutoItX 3.3.14.5. Important to know as one version registered can overwrite the registration of the previous registration.
AutoItLibrary currently registers AutoIt3X.dll without the _x64 suffix on the name on x64 systems. I may reference AutoIt3_x64.dll to define difference between x86 and x64.
Any version of AutoIt3X.dll and AutoIt3_x64.dll uses the same ID codes and the last registered wins (based on bitness as both x86 and x64 registrations can co-exist).
The TypeLib class key registered ID is {F8937E53-D444-4E71-9275-35B64210CC3B} and is where win32com may search.
If AutoIt3X.dll and AutoIt3_x64.dll are registered, unregister any 1 of those 2 will remove the AutoItX3.Control class key. Without this key, AutoIt3X will fail as AutoItLibrary needs this key. To fix, register again e.g. regsvr32.exe AutoIt3X.dll as admin in the working directory of AutoIt3X.dll.
The methods of any same version of AutoItX will match i.e. AutoIt3X.dll and AutoIt3X_x64.dll only changes in bitness, not methods.
Inserting win32com.client.gencache.EnsureModule("{F8937E53-D444-4E71-9275-35B64210CC3B}", 0, 1, 0) into AutoItLibrary\__init__.py should ensure the cache is always available for any AutoItX version. The initial code can be used to generate the cache, though the suggested change in AutoItLibrary\__init__.py makes it obsolete as the cache is generated on import of AutoItLibrary. If the ID was not constant, then the initial code may inform you of the ID to use.
The cache is important as it has generated .py files with methods like e.g.:
def Send(self, strSendText=defaultNamedNotOptArg, nMode=0):
'method Send'
# etc...
which if missing, makes Send and many others, an invalid keyword in AutoItLibrary.
If AutoItX 3.3.14.5 is registered, the - leading methods are removed and the + leading methods are added as compared to AutoItX 3.3.6.1:
-BlockInput
-CDTray
-IniDelete
-IniRead
-IniWrite
-RegDeleteKey
-RegDeleteVal
-RegEnumKey
-RegEnumVal
-RegRead
-RegWrite
-RunAsSet
+RunAs
+RunAsWait
So if any of those methods causes error, then you may want AutoItX 3.3.6.1 registered instead. In the AutoItX history, 3.3.10.0 release is when those method changes happened.
Fix:
Check your python architecture ( is it 32 or 64 bit)
For 32:
Open cmd in "Run as administrator" mode
run the command pip install robotframework-autoitlibrary
Now clone the autoit library source code:
https://github.com/nokia/robotframework-autoitlibrary
in the root directory run the below command: python setup.py install using cmd in admin mode
to navigate to root directory use the command pushd <filepath>' instead ofcd ` if cd doesn't work in cmd opened in admin mode.
For 64:
Open cmd in "Run as administrator" mode
Now clone the autoit library source code:
https://github.com/nokia/robotframework-autoitlibrary
in the root directory run the below command: python setup.py install using cmd in admin mode
to navigate to root directory use the command pushd <filepath>' instead ofcd ` if cd doesn't work in cmd opened in admin mode.

With reference to above blog, it worked !!!
Why Java? RobotFramework is python wrapper, you can use python with all its library.
Easy to import:
Library your/python/file/path.py
You can also execute a python line in one robot file
Evaluate print("Hello word")
BTW you can make your java keyword and import it in robot. Tutorial here https://blog.codecentric.de/en/2012/06/robot-framework-tutorial-writing-keyword-libraries-in-java/
If you see my other question, you will now better my goals. Take a look at: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19510039/from-regex-to-parser-generators .
As I'm trying to be a good boy, I'm reading the README (see https://java.net/projects/javacc/sources/svn/show/tags/release_60/examples/SimpleExamples?rev=555 ).
Run javacc on the grammar input file to generate a bunch of Java files that implement the parser and lexical analyzer (or token
manager):
javacc Simple1.jj
Now compile the resulting Java programs:
javac *.java
The parser is now ready to use. To run the parser, type:
java Simple1
My try:
D:\tests\javacc\simple1>javacc ..\Simple1.jj
Java Compiler Compiler Version 6.0_beta (Parser Generator)
(type "javacc" with no arguments for help)
Reading from file ..\Simple1.jj . . .
File "TokenMgrError.java" does not exist. Will create one.
File "ParseException.java" does not exist. Will create one.
File "Token.java" does not exist. Will create one.
File "SimpleCharStream.java" does not exist. Will create one.
Parser generated successfully.
D:\tests\javacc\simple1>javac *.java
SimpleCharStream.java:474: error: non-static variable this cannot be referenced from a static context
static void setTrackLineColumn(boolean trackLineColumn) { this.trackLineColumn = trackLineColumn; }

1 error
My java version:
java version "1.7.0_45"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_45-b18)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 24.45-b08, mixed mode, sharing)
I'm sure that "these" guys known what they are doing, I'm sure I did something wrong, but what? Getting a simple error like that in the first test with javacc?
How can I fix that and continue my lecture?
I suggest using version 5.0 for now. There are a lot of changes in version 6 and these came along with some bugs. There should be an update to version 6 soon. https://java.net/projects/javacc/downloads
Will you put the code to look it or your complete call. I think, that it´s a code error or that you call a bad .java archive. For example:
I have: Mytokens.jj and javaCode.java ok? Good, you need said:
javacc Mytokens.jj
javac javaCode.java
java javaCode <test1.txt>
I give you my *.bat for the test. You create a new txt and write it:
CALL javacc nameJJ.jj
#pause
CALL javac NameJava.java
#pause
java NameJava <prueba1> salida.txt
type salida.txt
#pause
This do the test for you when you do a double-click on it if you have a copy in your javacc/bin and your practice directories.
Google Closure works GREAT without the Java Runtime Environment by using IKVM
In case that ever goes away, the simplified steps to convert it to an exe are:
Download and extract (but nothing to install) Closure Compiler and IKVM
Move compiler.jar to the IKVM bin folder
ikvmc -target:exe -fileversion:2012.09.17 .\compiler.jar (with the jar's release date). Note: I get a few warnings about ANT libraries.
Copy these dependencies from the ikvm bin directory to the closure directory:
IKVM.OpenJDK.Core.dll
IKVM.OpenJDK.Jdbc.dll
IKVM.OpenJDK.Misc.dll
IKVM.OpenJDK.SwingAWT.dll
IKVM.OpenJDK.Text.dll
IKVM.OpenJDK.Util.dll
XML.API.dll
IKVM.Runtime.dll
Then you can move the compiler.jar and new compiler.exe back to your closure directory. Fredrik recommends this powershell version of execution because of the ability to specify ascii encoding overriding unicode (half the bytes):
.\compiler.exe --js .\jquery-1.4.2.js --warning_level QUIET | out-file -encoding ascii .\jquery.min.js
==============================
However, I do not have the same luck with the Closure Templates's SoyToJsSrcCompiler.jar. I get warnings from ikvmc -target:exe -fileversion:2011.12.22 .\SoyToJsSrcCompiler.jar as with compiler.jar.
warning IKVMC0105: Unable to compile class "com.google.template.soy.jssrc.internal.GenerateSoyUtilsEscapingDirectiveCode"

Anyone know how to get this to work?
The exception can be an bug in IKVM. Which version do you use? Test the latest version.
warning IKVMC0100: Class "com.google.template.soy.jssrc.internal.GenerateSoyUtilsEscapingDirectiveCode" not found
Another problem can be that you have not compile all needed jar files for SoyToJsSrcCompiler.jar. In which jar file is this missing class file? Take a look in the wiki to see how you compile multiple jar files.
The next problem can be that there is the same package in different jar files. It there are only package visible for some mthods this will not work for .NET. You can test a sharedclassloader. See the wiki for details.
I have used QCA (qca-2.0.1-mingw) library for encryption.
I have searched some code and write into the application. But it does not support the AES encryption standard.
e.g
QCA::supportedFeatures();
QCA::isSupported("aes128-cbc-pkcs7");
shows the o/p
("random", "md5", "sha1", "keystorelist")
false
Why AES is not supported ?
Thanx.. Frank and elmigranto
now, i have download qca-ossl-2.0.0-beta3 form link and also install the OpenSSl(Win32OpenSSL-1_0_0j.exe).then i build it by follows this link
configwin rd
Configuring for release and debug, dynamic
Wrote conf_win.pri
qmake
C:\qca-ossl-2.0.0-beta3>qmake
'qmake' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Also when i build the qca-ossl.pro file it shows o/p as:
c:\qca-ossl-2.0.0-beta3\qca-ossl.pro:17: warning: Unable to find file for inclusion winlocal.prf
what to do next? pls help me guys..
