Robotframework

Page documenting the setup and possible The use of robotframework for regression testing of SMEServer.

Page Initial creation by Brian J Read - 3rd March 2014

Installation

Initial installation is on the back of a Centos 6.5 (64 bit in my case) install. I use Virtual Box under Linux Mint 16.

  1. Install Centos 6.5
  2. login as root
  3. Install robotframework:
yum install make automake gcc gcc-c++ kernel-devel git-core –y
yum install python-devel -y
curl -o /tmp/ezsetup.py https://sources.rhodecode.com/setuptools/raw/bootstrap/ez_setup.py
python /tmp/ezsetup.py
/usr/bin/easy_install pip
rm setuptools-*.tar.gz
pip install -i https://pypi.rhodecode.com/ --upgrade pip
pip install robotframework
pip install virtualenv

Install additional robot framework libraries:

pip install robotframework-selenium2library
pip install robotframework-ftplibrary
pip install robotframework-sshlibrary

Note that selenium needs a browser to drive, so you'll need to install a graphical GUI, you can do this by:

yum -y groupinstall "Desktop" "Desktop Platform" "X Window System" "Fonts"
yum -y groupinstall "Graphical Administration Tools"
yum -y groupinstall "Internet Browser"
yum -y groupinstall "General Purpose Desktop"

If you want to start it up automatically, then instructions are here

else just type:

startx

After command line logging in.

You also ought to create a user to run under - you can use the graphical admin user prgram from the above, and then login as that.

Demos

There are ssh, ftp and web (selenium) demos at:

Making it test SMEServer

Marco Hess has made good progress with getting the framework to talk to an SMEServer.

His code is here:
