RIDE version + Python version to be used in RFW

[Satish Kumar]

Hello Team,

I am new to Robot frame work, I want to understand and know does RIDE supports latest Phython version 3.9.5 ?

or what python version I need to use where I can use RIDE as IDE? and what is the pip command I need to use for this ?

Can you please share me step by step process to install Robot Frame Work ? Please

I am sorry for too many questions.

Regards,

Satish

RIDE development has been really delayed because of changes in supporting frameworks and even in the core of Robot Framework since 3.2.2.

The current Beta version is for Python +3.6, but when released, already one year ago, the wxPython version would be 4.0.1.post2.

You can get information on how to install this and newer development version, and also see the CHANGELOG.adoc, on the project page, here: https://github.com/robotframework/RIDE

You can use current development, but the blocks IF ELSE END would not keep indentation. When running tests using the SKIP keyword, the execution log panel will stop working.

Good luck,

Hélio Guilherme

Version 1.7.4.2 is the latest released version, and it runs on Python 2.7, 3.6, 3.7 and 3.8, with wxPython 4.0.7.post2.
Then you can see the corrections and improvements on CHANGELOG.adoc, for current pre-released version 2.0.b1. This version should run OK, in  Python 3.6, 3.7 and 3.8, with wxPython 4.0.7.post2.
Python 3.9 and wxPython 4.1 were released after this 2.0.b1 version, so I don't recommend them. However, I have been using the current development version (2.0.b2.dev3) that must be installed from the code, as I explain in README.adoc, on Python 3.9 and wxPython 4.1.1.

Depending on what operating system you use, you can try the current development version, see its limitations and known issues.

If you would like to have better control on the colours settings for RIDE, then I recommend to try this version.
