RobotFramework Eclipse compile problen - no keywords found

[kamirru]

Hi All, 

I am quite new to RF and have a problem with running my first test. 

I am trying to run the test using Eclipse and java (in my company I am not able to use maven due to some restrictions). 

So I created (eclipse) a new project, package and Java class. I also created a test file Aaa.txt. 

When I am running the test I got an error message "no keyword with name "...." found. 

Here is the project structure and the code: 

Project name: Robot

--

package org.robot.sample.keywords;

public class MyKeywords {

public String sayHi(String name)

{

return "Hello " +name ;

}

public String sayHi()

{

return "Hello World!";

}

public String typeOf(Object param)

{

return param.getClass().getSimpleName();

}

}

----

Aaa.txt 

* Settings*

Library      org.robot.sample.keywords.MyKeywords

 

* Test Cases*

MyTestCase

    ${message}    say hi

    Log    ${message}

 

MyTestCase2

    ${message}    say hi    Valerio

    Log    ${message}

 

MyTestCase3

    ${message}    type of    42

    Log    ${message}

I am trying to run the test from cmd using 

java -jar robotframework-2.8.1.jar Aaa.txt

Here is the message from cmd:

Can anyone help?

[Ed Manlove]

The problem is seen here,

in your traceback; "No module name robot". It could be either you have not properly installed the Robot Framework package or your test library is not within PATH. You should check out your system setup, make sure all the required packages are installed [1], as well as check your PATH.

Hi, 

thanks for your reply. 

I have not mentioned I am using the stand alone version of RF-I thougt everyrhing will be working without installation:/

Or am I also obligated to insall RF on the system and run it via Jyphon in order to use JAVA?

[Markus Bernhardt]

No, you do not need to install Jython, to run RF. The RF jar contains Jython already.

From what I saw your Classpath was missing your own library and therefore the Library keyword failed.

You were using:

ds>java -jar robotframework-2.8.1.jar Aaa.txt

Try using:

ds>java -cp robotframework-2.8.1.jar:<path to your library> org.robotframework.RobotFramework Aaa.txt

Cheers,

Markus

Thanks, I also think the library with the keywords is missing. 

But still, I think I,ve mixed something up in setting the cp.... Could you give me a whole example? 

Let's assume alle files are in the same directory: D:\RobotFramework

So running up the script will be (? - does not work): 

java -cp robotframework-2.8.1.jar:.MyKeywords java -jar robotframework-2.8.1.jar A.txt

Or should I name the path to MyKeywords even if it is the same directoy? I also do not understand the "org.robotframework.RobotFramework Aaa.txt" you mentioned. 

Using D:\RobotFramework>java -cp robotframework-2.8.1.jar: D:\RobotFramework\MyKeywords.jar (it should be jar, right?) couses "could not find or load main class...

[Markus Bernhardt]

Hi,

first you have to compile your *.java files into *.class files. You said you are using Eclipse. There should be a directory created automatically by Eclipse containing this files. You need the to add this directory to the classpath. I think it is called "bin" as standard, but I'm not sure. Something like:

java -cp robotframework-2.8.1.jar;C:\Workspace\Project\bin org.robotframework.RobotFramework A.txt

BTW. You cannot mix the -jar and -cp parameter of java. This has nothing to do with RF.

BTW 2: "org.robotframework.RobotFramework" is the name of the program you are about to start. When not using the -jar parameter you have to specify that.

---

One more thing. You said you are using Eclipse. That means you already have maven available. You could simply go to Help -> Eclipse Marketplace ..., search for "maven" and install the "Maven Integration for Eclipse (Juno or newer)".

After that make a new "Maven Project" and select the archetype I wrote last time.

---

Cheers,

Markus

[kamirru]

I suppose with maven it would be much easier;) Unfortunately I am not allowed use maven at work (it should change someday, but...), so I have to do it via cmd, or maybe write a simple gui or something as a workaround...

But still:

java -cp robotframework-2.8.1.jar;D:\RobotFramework\MyKeywords\bin\example org.robotframework.RobotFramework A.txt 

couses an error ( same as java -jar robotframework-2.8.1.jar A.txt running from bin directory)

The error is:

[ ERROR ] Error in file 'D:\RobotFramework\MyKeywords\bin\example\A.txt': Import ing test library 'MyKeywords' failed: NoClassDefFoundError: MyKeywords (wrong na me: example/MyKeywords) java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass1(Native Method) at java.lang.ClassLoader.defineClass(Unknown Source) at java.security.SecureClassLoader.defineClass(Unknown Source) at java.net.URLClassLoader.defineClass(Unknown Source) at java.net.URLClassLoader.access$100(Unknown Source) at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(Unknown Source) at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(Unknown Source) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(Unknown Source) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source) at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source) at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method) at java.lang.Class.forName(Unknown Source)

I tried to google it, but there is not very much about RF and java...

[Markus Bernhardt]

You problem is 100% related to the classpath.

could you please open a DOS box and type:

d:

cd \RobotFramework\MyKeywords

dir /b /s

Please send the output of the dir command.

Cheers,

Markus

Is there anything wrong?

Btw.: Is there a possibility to run it directly from eclpise not having maven installed?

[Markus Bernhardt]

Well, I'm sorry, but there are several things you should fix.

Am I right that you never worked with Eclipse before? No pun intended.

The example directory is a Java Package directory inside the source directory.

Please do the following on a CMD shell:

D:

mkdir \RobotFramework\MyKeywords\lib

mkdir \RobotFramework\MyKeywords\testsuites

move \RobotFramework\MyKeywords\src\example\robotframework-2.8.1.jar \RobotFramework\MyKeywords\lib

move \RobotFramework\MyKeywords\src\example\A.txt \RobotFramework\MyKeywords\testsuites

del \RobotFramework\MyKeywords\src\example\*.html

Change in A.txt "Library MyKeywords" to "Library example.MyKeywords"

Then do a "Clean all" in Eclipse. After that there should be exactly one file in D:\RobotFramework\MyKeywords\bin\example: MyKeywords.class.

Then execute your test in a CMD shell:

D:

cd \RobotFramework\MyKeywords

java -cp lib\robotframework-2.8.1.jar;bin org.robotframework.RobotFramework testsuites 

Cheers,

Markus

True - I am not very familiar with eclipse

I made steps you gave me, it looks better, but still some errors:

I pick up the question, if it is possible to run it directly from eclipse without using maven?

[Kevin O.]

If you have your Build Path configured correctly, you should be able to run it directly from Eclipse. Letting Eclipse handle the classpath will make your life easier. Run your project as a Java application, using the main class of org.robotframework.RobotFramework. Use Program arguments in the run configuration UI to pass arguments into RF, e.g. D:\RobotFramework\MyKeywords\testsuites

It is unfortunate your company will not let you use Maven. Do they know that you can run your own repository like Artifactory and use access control to restrict what is allowed to be stored in it? If you can't use software capable of downloading other software to build software, then maybe should do the build on a Commodore 64 because it lacks a TCP/IP stack. LOL

[Markus Bernhardt]

Could you please post the complete content of A.txt

Here is the A.txt testsuite:

*** Settings ***

Library example.MyKeywords

 

*** Test Cases ***

MyTestCase

    ${message}    say hi

    Log    ${message}

 

MyTestCase2

    ${message}    say hi    Kamirru

[Markus Bernhardt]

Please change:

Library example.MyKeywords

to:

Library    example.MyKeywords

[kamirru]

:)

It worked.

But... I wonder why? Does it depend on the number of spaces? 

I also have one question regarding what Kevin said: 

I am trying to run the test case directly from eclispe. I included org.robotframework.RobotFramework as main class, the path to MyKeywords\testsuites as arguments and I included the RF.jar to the classpath - but I am getting:

Error occurred during initialization of VM

java/lang/NoClassDefFoundError: java/lang/Object

Another issue that I have: 

let's assuem I have a public class (java) :

package example;

public class Run {

public static void main(String args[]) {

//how should I run the test from this point - is it possible?

}

}

Is it possible to run the TC from main?

Ahh - I do not know if it is necessarcy to open a new topic, if yes - just let me know:)

I also very appreciate your help. 

Thank you!

[Markus Bernhardt]

In Robot a single space does not seperate statements. You need at least 2 space to seperate keywords and their parameter.
