Robot Framework’s native IF syntax starts with IF (case-sensitive) and
ends with END (case-sensitive). The IF marker requires exactly one value that is
the condition to evaluate. Keywords to execute if the condition is true are on their
own rows between the IF and END markers. Indenting keywords in the IF block is
highly recommended but not mandatory. Both BREAK and CONTINUE are typically used conditionally with IF/ELSE
or TRY/EXCEPT structures, and especially the inline IF syntax is often
convenient with them.
How to actually implement user
keywords and library keywords with different arguments is
discussed in separate sections. The plan is to extend localization support in the future, for example,
to log and report and possibly also to control structures. When Robot Framework ignores some data, this data is not available in
any resulting reports and, additionally, most tools used with Robot
Framework also ignore them.
The
library instance returned by this keyword is the same as the framework
itself uses, and thus there is no problem seeing the correct library
state. Although this functionality is available as a keyword, it is
typically used in test libraries directly by importing the BuiltIn
library class as discussed earlier. The following example illustrates
how to implement the same Title Should Start With keyword as in
the earlier example about using inheritance. If the library has state, however, things may not work as you would
hope. The library instance you use in your library will not be the

same as the framework uses, and thus changes done by executed keywords
are not visible to your library. The next section explains how to get
an access to the same library instance that the framework uses.
The execution is stopped immediately,
- Whether you’re an accomplished DIY-er, or an intrepid first timer, our installation advice is here to support you.
- Before the Remote library can be imported, the remote server providing
the actual keywords must be started. - Extensions are case-insensitive and can be specified with or without the leading
dot. - Keywords that contain errors
or warnings are not removed except when using the ALL mode. - The given file or directory creates the top-level test suite,
which, by default, gets its name from the file or directory name.
but reports and logs are still generated. Normally test cases are stopped immediately when any of their keywords
fail. This behavior shortens test execution time and prevents
subsequent keywords hanging or otherwise causing problems if the
system under test is in unstable state.
Asyn and areaDetector are normally placed in the SUPPORT directory
defined in this file. The definition for SUPPORT normally points to the directory where the
areaDetector, asyn, and the synApps modules (autosave, busy, calc, etc.)
are located. On Linux each library can either be built in ADSupport or installed in
a location external to areaDetector. AreaDetector optionally uses the NETCDF, TIFF, ZLIB, JPEG, SZIP, HDF5,
NEXUS, GRAPHICSMAGIC, OPENCV, and EPICS PVA (formerly V4) libraries. The build process attempts to make the build process easy for typical

cases but allow site specific overrides. The business data source creates a connection between Appian application objects and your business data.
Most keywords have a certain number of arguments that must always be
given. In the keyword documentation this is denoted by specifying the
argument names separated with a comma like first, second,
third. Keywords can accept zero or more arguments, and some arguments may
have default values. What arguments a keyword accepts depends on its
implementation, and typically the best place to search this
information is keyword’s documentation. The earlier examples have already demonstrated keywords taking
different arguments, and this section discusses this important

functionality more thoroughly.
After
getting a reference to the method, it searches for arguments and
documentation from it, in the same way as when using the static
API. Thus there is no need for special methods for getting arguments
and documentation like there is with the dynamic API. A test library without documentation about what keywords it
contains and what those keywords do is rather useless. To ease
maintenance, it is highly recommended that library documentation is
included in the source code and generated from it.
Tests and suites
in merged outputs that are not found from the original output are added into
the resulting output. The execution mode is stored in the generated output file and read by
Rebot if outputs are post-processed. There is a
separate Fatal Error BuiltIn keyword for this purpose, and
custom keywords can use fatal exceptions when they fail. If Ctrl-C is pressed again, the execution ends immediately and
reports and logs are not created. The execution is stopped when Ctrl-C is pressed in the console
where the tests are running.
If you don’t have a thorough understanding of how to install your software and what this process looks like, you can’t expect your users to have it either. Your software installation guide contains information define installation instructions relating to the configuration of your system, system requirements and how to maintain the software. It helps the user setup the software to the best of their ability and enables them to get the most out of it.
This option requires a path to
the generated xUnit file, relatively to the output directory, as a value. The command line option –log (-l) determines where log
files are created. Unless the special value NONE is used,
log files are always created and their default name is
log.html.
