I am a bit worried about very few NEW bug reports.
Does this mean that nobody is using this IDE?
Surely is not a bug free application. Please, interact more with me. I need to know what are your RIDE needs and priorities.

I am happy to announce the release of RIDE v2.1.3 with the following changes:

  • Better Search element in Text Editor which allows to be cleared.
  • When saving in Text Editor, the cursor remains at position, instead of jumping to Tree selection.
  • Improved autocompletion lists, by using existing words in Test Suite file (still needs more improvements).
  • Fixed not set text color on row labels in Grid Editor. Now the General secondary foreground is applied.
  • Added on Text Editor, tab indentation markers and tab markers boolean setting with default True.
  • Added on Text Editor, folding margin with markers style configurable with fold symbols in settings.cfg.
  • Create directories when needed in New Project dialog.
  • Improved the recognition of BDD/Gherkin prefixes when localized in autocomplete on Grid Editor.
  • Added syntax colorization for the GROUP marker. Improved colorization for multiple Gherkin words, for example in the French language.
  • Fixed multiple scroll bars in Grid Editor when editing Test Cases or Keywords. This caused bad navigation on cells.
  • Regression fix from v2.1b1 - Fix wrong item selection, like Test Suite, when doing right-click actions in Project Explorer.
Install or upgrade with:
pip install -U robotframework-ride

Or upgrade from the RIDE menu/dialogs.

Special Request

Anyone interested in collaborating on RIDE improvements, please contact me! I will be happy to help you helping me.
I started learning Python and wxPython, more than 10 years ago, because I wanted to improve the IDE I used in my job as Software Tester. So, if you are a user of Robot Framework, and want to have a tool which can have your own ideas, that may improve your daily work, just talk to me.

I plan to have some small videos, showing RIDE features, bugs and their fixes.
Already have some in my YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/@About_RIDE).
