Comment #6 on issue 154 by [email protected]: IronPython compatibility
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=154
I have to run Robot Framework 2.1.2 (RF) with IronPython 2.6 final. We have
done
test automation of WEB aplication succesfully with SeleniumLibrary 2.2.2.
For WIN32
we have used 'pyWinAuto'. I use HTML-Format with Winword because of the
gigantic
documentation and commentation posibilities. Much thanks for building such
a good
framework.
I must do more test automation with Windows-GUI's (WIN32, WPF, Windows
Forms, etc.).
But now under .NET we will/must switch to MS UI Automation (avaiable
= .NET 3.0 NS:
System.Window.Automation).
I have done the following efforts to get RF running with IronPython:
1. Installed IronPythton 2.6 succesfully
2. I have tryed to Install RF with robotframework-2.1.2.win32.exe (once
more). It
will always install to the (old) Python 2.6 directorys because of
Registry-Values.
Installation stopped.
3. Renamed the Reg-Key for Python (so it is no longer seen!). Install for
RF will
not let install to alternative free location. Install stopped because of no
go.
4. Reg-Key for Python rerenamed and patched to point to Installation from
IronPython. Next try to install with robotframework-2.1.2.win32.exe
crashed!.
5. Manually copied the RF things below/and into the IronPython installation
(to the
same points as in python). All test automation is running, but at the end,
preparing
the HTML-Output from XML-Output failes.
6. I've done all advices from Janne in the Issue 154. In point 2. the file
should
read 'expat.py' instead of 'expat'. In point 4. I had no IRONPYTHONPATH.
Therefore I
copied 'pyexpat.py' to the lib dir and created a new IRONPYTHONPATH
environment
variable with this lib path.
Now the creation of the HTML-Output failes (in a other way) with following
console
output (ending):

I think it's only a little bug because of the difference of the involved
software
pakages:
Robot Framework 2.0.4 => 2.1.2
IronPhython 2.6.1 => 2.6.10920.0 final on win32
.NET 2.0.50727.1433 => 2.0.50727.3603
I give You such a detailed report, because I think I'am not the one and
only, who is
interested in keyworddriven testautomation with RF and the newer MS UI
Automation
Layer to automate WIN applications regardless of the type of MS UI
framework they
use.
