Project Judas

[Mikko Korpela]

Hello all,

I've been wanting to spend some time on experimenting with an old idea for a long long time. 

That is to find out if the core value for the end users of Robot Framework comes from its syntax (and the work model it enforces) or from logs, tags and (a little bit also from) listeners. I think the best way to solve this is to build a new tool without the syntax.

Today I've created the first draft of a new tool that enables people to write tests with python. If you are interested in participating in this project, it is located in https://github.com/mkorpela/judas . 

The tool is not at all ready, but you already can run tests with it. It is heavily dependent on the internals of Robot Framework and I've developed it (today) against RF 2.9rc1 - thus it most likely will not work without that RF version.

Syntax looks like this:

my_judas_tests.py:

from judas import kw, test

@test

def hello_judas():

   hello()

@kw

def hello():

   print 'hello world!'

and currently it is started like:

python judas.py my_judas_tests

Cheers,

Mikko Korpela

Thank you, I will try it out in coming days

So just to confirm my understanding,  the idea is,  test case(s) with test step(s), therefore is, a python file, right ?

Ugh

Looks cool. I personally love both (work model and the logs). To get better understanding, would need to give it a try, but that have to wait until my holidays are over.

Awesome! Once it matures, we can consider including it with Robot
Framework itself.

Have you considered could you use the new `robot.api.deco.keyword`
instead of a custom decorator? It sets `robot_name` attribute that you
could use to detect should a method be considered a keyword. It also
makes it possible to create custom keyword names that are not
restricted to characters allowed in method names.

Thanks Peke. Let's see what happens :)

Have you considered could you use the new `robot.api.deco.keyword`
instead of a custom decorator?

kw decorator works at test execution time and adds things to the output.xml. keyword decorator works at test/library parsing time (i think). I'll see what I can do.

Still I'm missing a proper name for the project - a thing that I need before PyPi release. Any good ideas?

It now supports also tags, so first release might be ready before you know it.

[Marino Punturieri]

Pyrobot is already used, maybe pyrf.
Just my 2 cents.

to add on the same line as above post, py2rf or a completely different name, e.g rf-sage : ))

[Mikko Korpela]

pyRF is also already something..

I don't actually get it why python packages have py at the beginning - it is already known that the packages are python so why have that in the name.

Maybe barf :D

Ugh

What about acronym from original: jurf,

[Mukesh Takhtani]

My suggestions for name:

1. RFUnit
2. VeriPy (from Verify : to test/check)

Best,

Hi,

How about:

RFpy or RobPy

Br,

Antti

[Mikko Korpela]

Thanks to everyone for great name suggestions!

I decided to go with RobPy :D

VeriPy was also one of my favorites but it was already something else.

[Mikko Korpela]

The first draft release (0.1) can now be downloaded from PyPi

pip install robpy

It currently requires latest RF 2.9 (release candidate).

You can already play around with the first version but I wouldn't use it for production yet.

Github repository is now located in https://github.com/mkorpela/robpy

All contributions are welcome!

Cheers,

Mikko Korpela

It would be great to get integration with RIDE
