I am pleased to announce the first release of SudsLibrary.
SudsLibrary is based on Suds, a dynamic SOAP 1.1 client.
Unlike many other testing solutions, SudsLibrary uses neither classes generated at build time or stored XML.
You can install SudsLibrary using pip, with the following command:
pip install robotframework-sudslibrary
Binary installers are available on PyPI, but they do not include Suds, a required package.
The project is hosted on GitHub, where you can also see the library documentation and more information.
I welcome your feedback and hope you enjoy using it.
Cheers,
Kevin Ormbrek

Adding RF user group.
Thank you for reporting this and I'm sorry I missed the timeout. I am glad to hear the library is of use to you. The timeout can be set when the client is created or afterwards. Do you think adding an additional argument w/ default to Create Soap Client would suffice, or would you rather have a keyword Set Soap Timeout?
In case you have need of it, here is a user keyword implementing the missing functionality:
Set Suds Client Timeout
[Arguments] ${timeout}
[Documentation] Sets the `timeout` in seconds on the current Suds client using the value provided.
${timeout}= Convert To Number ${timeout}
${suds library}= Get Library Instance SudsLibrary
${suds library._client().options.timeout}= Set Variable ${timeout}

Hello Kevin.Great work, this library is very useful in our tests.In some of our tests the server response takes more that 90 seconds and the test fails before receiving the server response.My suggestion would be to configure timeout on the Create SOAP Client or Call SOAP Method keyword.BR,Hugo

2013/5/10 Kevin Ormbrek <korm...@gmail.com>:
initializing something and having a separate keyword for configuration
are useful. The latter is more flexible and allows temporarily and
dynamically changing values, but the former makes the common case
easy.
If there are lot of values to configure, having separate keywords for
all of them can get a bit annoying. A good alternative solution that
I've started to use myself is having just one keyword that can be used
to configure all values. For example something like this:
def soap_configuration(timeout=None, conf2=None, conf3=None):
if timeout is not None:
# ....
It can then be used in the test data using named argument syntax like
below. If this one keyword handles all configuration, the keyword that
initializes the connection could also use it internally.
SOAP Configuration timeout=1 minute conf3=another value
I obviously don't know this particular library or the use case well
enough to know does anything above make sense in this context. Just
wanted to share what I have learned related to configuring internal
state of test libraries.

That's pretty clever way to configure a library externally! I hadn't
though about using Get Library Instance and the extended variable
assignment like this. Of course this is a hack and can easily break if
the library is changed internally, but it definitely is a good
workaround.

Thank you for your thoughtful input.
I was a little hesitant to add another configuration keyword (there are 9 already), but I will at your suggestion.
Most of the configuration is done through separate keywords because I did not want to force users to pass in dictionaries or lists, so variable arguments are used.
I hadn't thought about having a combined configure keyword like that. That would be a great solution if the Suds settings were simpler/more linear.
I will definitely consider your solution for other libraries.
You have a point about library internals. This user keyword should actually be calling set_options() per the Suds documentation instead of using direct assignment.
_client(), however, is documented in the SudsLibrary documentation and marked # PyAPI in the source code as a way to show that although pseudo-private, the method is intended for outside usage when extending the library.
Cheers,
Kevin

As I have installed SudsLibrary on Windows m/c, but getting problem to import it.
Issue is as -:
Traceback (most recent call last):

If any one have idea please know me soon.
can we possible to test Soap Request & Response testing without using the SudsLibrary please know me
Thanks,

strange that you can successfully do this:
from suds.plugin import MessagePlugin
but
suds.sax.document import Document
fails
I would try re-installing suds. Someone people have had similar issues with selenium where it was only partially installed.
If you are using pip,
pip uninstall suds
pip install suds
You could call SOAP methods with the HTTP libraries but it would not be easy or recommended.

so is there any other way to install it & consume API of Suds ? Its urgent to accomplish it.
I too don't have much info on "HTTP libraries" use for SOAP.

You appear to have a network issue or a firewall blocking access to PyPI.
You could extract the tarball and do this:
You could extract the tarball and do this:
python setup.py install
Get to a machine that has more access and use one of these URLs to get the suds tarball:
Good luck,

Suds does not do any validation when preparing the request, so that is likely incorrect argument type(s). All of the methods a service exposes have their own corresponding types which are not needed in the user code. This is likely to be caused by calling the method fetchRequest with the method's corresponding type, fetchRequest.
Double check the output of Create Soap Client, checking the type(s) of the arguments on the method you are trying to call.
An educated guess would be the method is expecting a fetch-type argument followed by a int and a Boolean rather than a single fetchRequest-type argument.
If you are still stuck please post the WSDL if possible.

hello,
just FYI - current suds-jurko 0.6 does not export suds.sax.date.UTC - your library is failing with that version

Hi,
I am not enjoying working Soap call from Robert Framework.But I am enjoying working in rest call due to Jason.
Can you advice me something what I have to follow to have better response.
Since 2 months i am trying Soap call trying to get 200 response it don't give me where as in soap ui ican do easily.
I have tried following each and every thing like suds library, request library and xml as well.
please help me out.
thankyou
