Implement Robot Framework using RIDE (Part-2)

In our part-1 we learned how to work with existing test case written as .robot/.txt inside RIDE.

Here we would learn to implement the robot framework functionality in RIDE itself.Further we would move towards best approach in RF.
Do follow us on Fb,G+,Twitter, it encourages us to learn and share more.

Requirement:- Enhance our existing test case using RIDE?

Step1:-
Adding new Test Case to existing functionality.

Right click Test Suite > New Test Case > Name ([TC-002]-Search Robot onthe opened Application).

Note:- We could have done the same using “Text Edit” tab.

Step2:-

Adding Test Steps for the newly created test case.

Click on the Test case Name (TC-002) and on right side under “Edit” tab, enter the test steps.

Test Step 1:- Search The Given Topic On Home Page Of Application

Test Step 2:– Click On The First Searched Link

Note:- Added Test Steps would be coming in black font, they would turn blue one’s RIDE is able to link them to the corresponding keywords.

Step3:-

Adding the Keywords for the created steps (Meaning using the Selenium2Library keywords to give meaning to the created test steps).

Right click the Test suite > New User Keyword > Name

Select the newly created keyword -> Under “Edit” tab ->utilize the selenium2Library keywords to perform the operation .

Note:-
Now if we click on the “Test Case”([TC-002]) we can see the color change as blue.

Incase we have already included the “Selenium2Library” in Setting table, we can utilize the intellisense available in RIDE to search for the required keyword from the selenium library.

Step4:-

Here we would define “$TOPIC” variable used above in the keywords.

We can do the same from the explorer window but let’s try from the “Add Scalar” button.

Click on Test Suite Name -> on the right side click on “Add Scalar” button > Name/value/Comment

Step5:-

Save and run the test case

CODE:-

*** Settings ***
Library           Selenium2Library

*** Variables ***
${APP}            uftHelp
${URL}            https://www.google.ca
${BROWSER}        CHROME
${TOPIC}          Robot Framework    # Variable containing the Topic to be searched on Application

*** Test Cases ***
[TC-001]-Launching the browser and search and launch the 'uftHelp' Application on Google.com
    Launch Browser
    Search Application On Google
    Launch Application

[TC-002]-Search Robot onthe opened Application
    Search The Given Topic On Home Page Of Application
    Click On The First Searched Link

*** Keywords ***
Launch Browser
    Open Browser    ${URL}    ${BROWSER}
    Maximize Browser Window

Search Application On Google
    Input Text    id=lst-ib    ${APP}
    Click Button    name=btnG

Launch Application
    Wait Until Element Is Visible    link=User-Friendly Techy-Help    20 Seconds
    Click Element    link=User-Friendly Techy-Help

Search The Given Topic On Home Page Of Application
    Input Text    id=gsc-i-id1    ${TOPIC}
    Click Element    css=input.gsc-search-button.gsc-search-button-v2

Click On The First Searched Link
    Wait Until Element Is Visible    xpath=.//*[@id='___gcse_0']/div/div/div[1]/div[6]/div[2]/div[1]/div/div[2]/div[1]/div[1]/div/a    20 s
    Click Element    xpath=.//*[@id='___gcse_0']/div/div/div[1]/div[6]/div[2]/div[1]/div/div[2]/div[1]/div[1]/div/a

Hope you learned the basics of RIDE and enjoyed our tutorial. Keep learning 🙂
