Support for .robot files

[Mateusz Teodorowicz]

  Hello,

I would like to review Robot Framework files using Review Board. Using demo version (demo.reviewboard.org) I uploaded .robot file and preview of file is visible, I can open it, make comments etc.:

So I decided to install RB on my own server. Unfortunatelly on my version I can't open .robot files, I can only download it, also preview is empty:

Anyone know how to fix it? Thanks in advance

Hi Mateusz,

It looks like the file is not being identified properly as a text file. We run `file --mime-type -b <filename>` on the server to try to determine a suitable file type, so it could be that:

1) `file` is not available on the server

2) The mimetype is not coming back as text/* (such as text/plain, text/x-robot, etc.).

What OS is Review Board installed on? Can you see if `file` can be run, and if so, can you try uploading the file to the server and running the above command on it and show me what it says?

Christian

Hi Christian,

Thank you very much for quick response. You were right, `file` is not available on the server. To run server I used docker-compose from https://github.com/reviewboard/reviewboard/tree/master/contrib/docker/examples/ and I tought every needed packages are installed.

Br,

Mateusz

Oh, interesting. I'm surprised that's not included in our images. We'll address that for the 4.0.5 release (overdue, but it's a big release that we're hoping to get out soon).
