robotframework-dbus 0.2.0

Robot Framework library for automated testing of DBus services

RobotFramework_DBus is a Robot Framework keyword library designed to support the automated testing of DBus services using both synchronous and asynchronous mechanisms.

How to install

The RobotFramework_DBus can be installed in two different ways.

1. Installation via PyPi (recommended for users)

   pip install robotframework-dbus

   RobotFramework_DBus in PyPi

2. Installation via GitHub (recommended for developers)

   • Clone the robotframework-dbus repository to your machine.

     git clone https://github.com/test-fullautomation/robotframework-dbus.git

     RobotFramework_DBus in GitHub

   • Use the following command to install RobotFramework_DBus (executed in repository main folder):

     python -m pip install .

     Or:

     python -m pip install --proxy <proxy> .

     This command will also download and install all dependencies that are required to work with the source files in the current repository. After the initial installation of RobotFramework_DBus is done, you have the following two possibilities:

     1. Clean the previous installation:

        python "./cleanup_installation.py"

        cleanup_installation.py explicitly deletes all files and folders within the component installation folder under site-packages and also deletes local build artefacts.

     2. Render the component documentation:

        python "./genpackagedoc.py"

        This would e.g. be required in case of changes in the interface of RobotFramework_DBus.

        The documentation is rendered by a separate application called GenPackageDoc, that is part of the build dependencies and runtime dependencies of RobotFramework_DBus.

        GenPackageDoc needs to be configured. Details about how to do this, can be found in the README.rst (sections Install dependencies and Configure dependencies).

   • Use the following command to build RobotFramework_DBus (executed in repository main folder):

     python -m build .

     Or:

     python -m pip config set global.proxy <proxy>
     python -m build .
