Using Robot Framework on Mac OS X Desktop Application GUI Testing
Daniel Chen
I've been using Robot Framework on Windows desktop application GUI test automation.
And now, I'm newly entered the area of Application testing on Mac OS.
I'm curious does anyone of you have the knowledge on this area? How can I use RF for Mac OS Application GUI Test Automation?
Thank you very much!
Taylor, Martin
I have written a Robot Framework keyword wrapper for the AppScript python package (http://appscript.sourceforge.net/) but unfortunately have not yet had time to package and release it as Open Source. I do intend to do this some time, but as its not a requirement for work I have to find my own time in which to do it. It is my hope that someday this will be the Mac equivalent of my Windows GUI testing Open Source release: AutoIt-Library (http://code.google.com/p/robotframework-autoitlibrary/).
If you can’t wait indefinitely, maybe you can take a look at the AppScript Python package and figure out your own Robot Framework wrapper for it?
Cheers,
Martin

then there are several other options. It would be nice if someone
built up complete generic libraries for these tools to use with RF,
but for now, you can at least build your own wrappers to them (or
extend any existing works in progress).
AtoMac / PyAtom (improved API over AppScript, no RF library exists as
far as I know)
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/atomac
https://github.com/pyatom/pyatom
AutoPy (cross-platform Python GUI automation, I'm working on RF
library and CLI tool for this, not yet released)
https://github.com/msanders/autopy
Sikuli (cross-platform GUI automation via Java or Jython/Python)
Jython/Python integration with RF (no library, but describes how to
write one)
http://blog.mykhailo.com/2011/02/how-to-sikuli-and-robot-framework.html
Java integration with RF (generic library provided, very limited,
extend if you need more functionality)
