"cannot access execution context' throw out when I ca.. BuildIn().get_library_instance('SeleniumLibrary')

[Geri]

I upgrade the SeleniumLibrary from Selenium2Library, after that BuildIn().get_library_instance('SeleniumLibrary') doesn't work

my test code is like this

from robot.libraries.BuiltIn import BuiltIn

def test2():
    seleniumlib = BuiltIn().get_library_instance('SeleniumLibrary')
    print 'done'

if __name__ == "__main__":
    test2()

C:\apps\Python27\python.exe C:/Automation/RF/Lib/test2.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File " C:/Automation/RF/Lib/test2.py", line 12, in <module>
    test2()
  File " C:/Automation/RF/Lib/test2.py", line 4, in test2
    seleniumlib = BuiltIn().get_library_instance('SeleniumLibrary')
  File "C:\apps\Python27\lib\site-packages\robot\libraries\BuiltIn.py", line 3254, in get_library_instance
    return self._namespace.get_library_instance(name)
  File "C:\apps\Python27\lib\site-packages\robot\libraries\BuiltIn.py", line 71, in _namespace
    return self._get_context().namespace
  File "C:\apps\Python27\lib\site-packages\robot\libraries\BuiltIn.py", line 66, in _get_context
    raise RobotNotRunningError('Cannot access execution context')
robot.libraries.BuiltIn.RobotNotRunningError: Cannot access execution context

Process finished with exit code 1

Any idea? why?

Thanks

Ugh

I think when you run the code, you are running it without Robot Framework and there the RobotNotRunning error is raised. If you call the test2 method as a keyword from a test case, then the code should work fine. Also the exception does not have anything to do with SeleniumLibrary.

hmm,  not very sure, but if I changed it to BuiltIn().get_library_instance('Selenium2Library'), it works.  Why I cannot use SeleniumLibrary?

One can use SeleniumLibrary, did you remember to import the SeleniumLibrary also?
