Robot Framework 2.7.6 released

[Pekka Klärck]

Hi all,

Robot Framework 2.7.6 has been released. It fixes a big memory leak in
test execution, adds new *.robot extension for plain text files, and
contains several other higher and lower priority enhancements and
fixes.

See the release notes [1] for more details about the new release and
get installers from the download page [2]. Running `pip install
--upgrade robotframework` ought to work for pip [3] users regardless
the operating system.

Hi Pekka,

Is this new version already available in a Maven Repository ?
Should I use a new version of swinglibrary and javalib-core to integrate this new version ?

Regards, Stefan Lecho.

Hi Stefan!

the new version is available from Maven Central. You dont have to
update your SwingLibrary or JavalibCore to use this version.

Hi,

The new keyword "Run Keyword and return result" is not appearing even after upgrading to RF 2.7.6. There is a builtin.py file under robotide\libraries folder which does not seem to be updated with the latest copy of builtin.py. When i open builtin.py from robot/libraries folder, i am seeing this new keyword but when i open it from robotide/libraries folder, i am not seeing the new change. RIDE seems to be using this robotide folder. Can you please check and let me know?

I upgraded to RIDE 1.0 along with RF 2.7.6 upgrade.

First of all, the new keyword is `Run Keyword And Return Status`.

Libraries under RIDE are not updated when you upgrade Robot Framework
and thus RIDE does not see newly introduced keywords. This will be
fixed when a new RIDE release with updated Robot bundled in is
released.

If this is a problem for you, you can try setting the directory
containing new Robot libraries into PYTHONPATH before starting RIDE.
That should work, but RIDE may also modify PYTHONPATH itself and add
its libraries there. If that's the case, you can always update the
libraries under RIDE manually.

Thanks peke!
