Robot Framework IDE 1.7.3
Please see the complete release notes here.
RIDE (Robot Framework IDE 1.7.3 is a new release with major enhancements
and bug fixes. It contains some updates for Robot Framework version 3.1.1.
The most notable enhancements are:
- Compatible with Python 2.7 and >=3.6
- Runs with "any" wxPython version (2.8.12.1, 3.0.2 on Python 2.7)
and 4.0.4 for both Python 2.7 and >=3.6 - Runner can select new or old versions of Robot Framework (
pybotvsrobot) - Panes, Tabs, Toolbar are detachable and re-positionable thanks to wxPython's AUI module
- Text Editor now have a autocomplete feature
- Test cases on tree pane, have the new official icon, and is animated when running or paused
- Long test names on tree pane, have name shortened by ... and name visible on tool-tip
- On tree pane at test suite level, context menu allows to open folder in file manager,
and to remove the Read-Only file attribute - If no tests are selected there will be a confirmation to proceed with running all tests
- Like F8 to run tests, now there is F9 to run them with log level DEBUG
- The Grid Editor now have a JSON editor for a cell (it validates when saving)
Unfortunately, this release may introduce new bugs, unknown or known like the ones:
- On Windows to call autocomplete in Grid Editor, you have to use Ctrl-Alt-Space, (or keep using Ctrl-Space after disabling Text Editor)
- On Windows 10, in Grid Editor, when you select text on a cell, the selection, although valid, is not visible
- On some Linuxes (Fedora 28, for example), when you click No in some Dialog boxes, there is the repetition of those Dialogs
- On some Linuxes the new validation of test suites, may complaint about HTML format, and this makes not opening the folders. You have to select a single file, kill RIDE and restart it.
- Problems with non UTF-8 console encodings may cause output problems
(and more for you to find out ;) )
