Cant get RIDE to work even though following the instructions meticulously

[Douglas Frykman]

Hello, I've followed the instructions, checked my PATH and really tried everythng I can come up with.

I first installed Python 2.7, then Robotframework using "pip install robotframework", downloaded and installed wxPython2.8, and then RIDE using "pip install robotframework-ride". All folders and files ar in the same directory on the harddrive. When I try to start RIDE by typing "ride.py" (as specified in the instructions) I get this error message:

"File "D:\Python\Scripts\ride.py", line 20, in <module> from robotide import main importerror: no module named robotide"

Checked verions of robot and rebot and they are both 3.0.2 (Python 2.7.13 on win32)

I've attached a sceenshot of my PATH if that is any help.

What am I doing wrong? Probably something stupid but can't figure it out.

Best regards

Instead of python please install ActivePython 2.7, it should work

[Ed Manlove]

Could you post the full console output for when you try to run RIDE with
Python?

[Ed Manlove]

It should work fine using straight Python.

Sure

Why RIDE exactly? There are plenty of other IDEs for Robot.

It was suggested and well spoken of. So I didnt think much more about it and just went on.

[Hélio Guilherme]

I have a batch file to start RIDE:

C:\Python27\Scripts\ride.bat

Its relevant content is:

pythonw -c "from robotide import main; main()"

Please try to run that from a command window.

If you want, you could install from my fork (which will create a desktop shortcut), and later revert for the official release.

See the releases, here: https://github.com/HelioGuilherme66/RIDE/releases
There are some known bugs, listed on my wiki, that is why it is not final release.

Install with:

pip install -U --pre https://github.com/HelioGuilherme66/RIDE/archive/v1.6b3.zip
(you also need pywin32 for the desktop shortcut creator; get it from http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/)

Then install official build (or not if you can live with the bugs ;) ):

pip install -U robotframework-ride

What does pip list show? That is typing at the command prompt

    pip list

In addition you should verify you have the right wxPython, which tends to be the cause of many problems with installing. If you are on Windows one should see within Python

C:\> python
Python 2.7.12 (v2.7.12, Jun 27 2016, 15:19:22) [MSC v.1500 32bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import wx
>>> wx.version()
'2.8.12.1 (msw-unicode)'
>>>

Otherwise under Linux it may be

# python
Python 2.7.6 (default, Mar 22 2014, 22:59:56) [GCC 4.8.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import wx
>>> wx.version()
'2.8.12.1 (gtk2-unicode)'
>>>

It doesnt seem like wx is installed but it is. Exactly the version that is asked for I have installed under Lib\site-packages. 

When trying to import wx as you instructed it says "ImportError: DLL load failed: %1 is not a valid win32-program" (I've attached a screen of this but it's in Swedish)

Appreciate you taking time to help.

[Hélio Guilherme]

This is the indication that your wxPython does not match the Python processor architecture:

When trying to import wx as you instructed it says "ImportError: DLL load failed: %1 is not a valid win32-program" 

 As Ed mentioned, you must install the same type as Python:

C:\> python
Python 2.7.12 (v2.7.12, Jun 27 2016, 15:19:22) [MSC v.1500 32bit (Intel)] on win32

One more thing. You have several wxPython installed, you can select the one in use, by editing the file 'wx.pth' and change the entry to the name of the folder. For example, 'wx-2.8-msw-unicode'.

I also consistently have problem with RIDE. I want to know what other IDEs for Robot instead of RIDE? Thanks.

Go to http://robotframework.org/#tools and click on the "Editors" tab.
