Robot Framework 2.8.7 - Version not displayed

[sujay....@gmail.com]

Hi All,

I have recently downloaded the gzipped source code of Robot Framework 2.8.7 from

After successfully untaring it on my test machine which has RHEL 5.3 . I have run the following commands

[root@itsm5 bin]# pwd
/robot/robotframework-2.8.7/src/bin
[root@itsm5 bin]# ls -lrt
total 48
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 37 Jan 16 14:12 rebot.bat

[root@itsm5 bin]#


[root@itsm5 bin]# rebot --version
Rebot trunk 20140617 (Python 2.7 on linux2)
[root@itsm5 bin]# pybot --version
Robot Framework trunk 20140617 (Python 2.7 on linux2)

[root@itsm5 bin]# jybot --version
bash: jybot: command not found
[root@itsm5 bin]# ipyrebot --version
bash: ipyrebot: command not found
[root@itsm5 bin]#


I have two questions

1. On successful installation it should show me the Robot Framework version . In case of rebot --version and pybot --version .

It shows this currentlly Robot Framework trunk 20140617 (Python 2.7 on linux2)


2. jybot and ipyrebot although present still show

Command not found error

Please can someone exlpain.

Regards,
Sujay

Hi,

Typically when user 'root' runs commands they must use full path, or local path for the commands, unless the $PATH environmental variable is set to contain the directory where the executables reside.

To be sure you are running the extracted files, you probably should run like:

[root@itsm5 bin]# ./rebot --version

Most certainly you have another old install of Robot Framework that is found from the $PATH variable (and that is why it can't find jybot and ipyrebot).

One more thing, it is not safe to run commands with 'root' user, unless they are administrative tasks. Good practice is to have a normal user from the 'users' group, and then run special commands with the

$ sudo <command name>

Bye,

Hélio

You must install Jython and Java (JRE or JDK). Do you really need that?

 

[tsm@itsm5 bin]$ ./ipybot --version
/usr/bin/env: ipy: No such file or directory

You must install C# or .Net (I think that is Bonobo in Linux). Do you really need that?

Good luck.
