Robot Framework with Jython

[Smi Kam]

Hi everyone,

I am new to Robot Framework and started using RF with Python recently. However, I want to create custom keyword libraries for my tests in Java. I found that I would have install Robot Framework using Jython or use Java Remote Library API to be able to use my Java libraries. I want to go for the Jython option. I found the installation documentation quite confusing. Can anyone please give me step-by-step installation instructions for RF with Jython. Any inputs will be greatly appreciated!

Hi,

can you use maven in your environment?

Cheers,
Markus

I just downloaded the jython installer. it is a runnable jar file, so make sure java is installed. then run the jar file, and click 'all everything including sources' when installation type appears. once its done, include the /bin folder into your Path because that's where jython.exe is. after that i installed RF. i don't know if the order matters, but at least that works for me. 

then you can create your java library. it can be a normal class with some methods. build it into a jar file and include that into your CLASSPATH. start RF by something like this:

set CLASSPATH="..\..\lib\SampleLibrary.jar;%CLASSPATH%"

jybot --outputdir ..\..\..\output ..\..\..\implementation\testsuites\SampleLibraryTestsuite.html
