Robot Framework Browser library powered by Playwright. Moving browser automation to year 2020 (or 2021)!

Aiming for 🚀 speed, ✅ reliability and 🔬 visibility.

Official post about this venture.

1. Install node.js e.g. from https://nodejs.org/en/download/
2. Install robotframework-playwright from the commandline: pip install robotframework-playwright
3. Install the node dependencies needed to run Playwright from the commandline: robotframework-playwright init

Install Python, nodejs and yarn. Make sure you have make available.

• https://www.python.org/downloads/
• https://nodejs.org/
• https://classic.yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install

Setup development environment with make dev-env. This creates a Python virtualenv in .venv directory, and install both Python and nodejs dependencies.

To update the dependencies use either make dev-env to update all or alternatively make .venv or make node-deps to update only Python or nodejs dependencies, respectively.

Make sure to run source .venv/bin/activate to activate the correct virtualenv

There are both unit tests written with pytest and acceptance test written with Robot Framework. These can be run manually with make utest and make atest. The tests are also executed in a prepush hook.

Python code style is enforced with flake8 and black. These are executed in a precommit hook, but can also be invoked manually with make lint-python.

Python Library <--> gRPC <---> TypeScript and Playwright

This project is community driven and becomes a reality only through the work of all the people who contribute. Supported by Robocorp through Robot Framework Foundation.
