Welcome to RobotAnt project

RobotAnt is a ant task for using robotframework inside ant build
scripts.

RobotAnt ant task inherits from the core java task.

RobotAnt uses the same parameters and specific ones as robotframework
frequently used options

Hello,

I've been trying to use ANT with ROBOT and i've not been able to.
The robot script is a .txt , which is called by a .bat file which
contains no more than "pybot sample.txt". Running only the bat file ,
the tests in robot , without using ANT run well.
When i try to run the same from ANT (the code from the ANT script -
build.xml - is ):

-------------------
build.xml----------------------------------------------------------
<project name="test" default="start">
<!-- Optional tasks -->
<taskdef name="robotant"
classname="org.lcx.robotframework.ant.RobotAnt" classpath="ant-
robotframework-0.1.jar" />

<target name="start"
description="START ROBOT TEST" >
<robotant
jar="robotframework-2.5.4.1.jar"
data_sources="sample.txt"
>
</robotant>
</target>
</project>

To run, i type : ant

It returns a lot of errors in the report log.html:
It seems that the main problems are the libraries AutoItLibrary and
tnmsclib that it cannot find , but the paths of those libraries are in
PITHONPATH.

Hi Ricardo,

It seams this is coming from PYTHONPATH that is not taken into account by the ant task.

I'll check and let you know.

Laurent.

Hi Ricardo,

RobotAnt is using well PYTHON_PATH.

I have change the PYTHON_PATH to C:\\Python26\\Lib\\site-packages and have now the following error :  ImportError: No module named win32api

I have found that AutoItLibrary is using win32api that is a compiled fil under ...Lib\site-packages\win32

And it seams that it is not usable under java. win32api.pyd.

Since RobotAnt is using standalone jar of robotframework under java, it may not work.

RobotAnt is doing the same as using robotframework standalone version : see http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/wiki/JavaIntegration

So if you try to run your test with it, it should work with Ant.

Unfortunately my poor knowledge in Python may not help your more than that.

You may request the same on robotframework user group : http://groups.google.com/group/robotframework-users

Regards,

Laurent.
