how to automate password entering for scp command in Robot Framework?

[Arash Eghtesadi]

Hello, 

I am writing a test script in Robot Framework which requires to copy a file from a remote host to local host using scp (SSHLibrary.Get File did not work for some reason), and I should not add public key of my local host to the authorized_host of the remote host, so when I run the test, it needs user interaction to type the password for scp to work.

 

I wonder if there is a way to automate that process in order not to need user interaction as the test is going to be run in continuous integration pipeline.

Best regards,

Arash
