robotframework-domretrylibrary 2.3.0

AI-powered smart locator with retry functionality for Robot Framework using OpenAI

Robot Framework DomRetryLibrary

A Robot Framework library with AI-powered fallback for locator variables, enhancing test reliability by using OpenAI to dynamically generate element locators when primary locators fail.

Installation

Install the library using pip:

pip install robotframework-domretrylibrary

Usage

Import the library in your Robot Framework test file:

*** Settings ***
Library           SeleniumLibrary
Library           DomRetryLibrary    # Just use the direct class name

Define your locators and AI fallback descriptions:

*** Variables ***
${USERNAME_FIELD}      css=#non_existent_username_id
${AI_USERNAME_FIELD}   the username input field with placeholder 'Username'

Use the AI fallback in your tests:

*** Test Cases ***
Login Test
    Open Browser    https://example.com    chrome
    AI Fallback Locator    Input Text    USERNAME_FIELD    myusername
    Close Browser

API Key Setup

Store your OpenAI API key in a .env file in your project directory:

OPENAI_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

Or provide it when initializing the library:

*** Settings ***
Library    DomRetryLibrary    api_key=${OPENAI_API_KEY}

How It Works

1. The library first attempts to use your primary locator
2. If the primary locator fails, it uses OpenAI to generate a new locator based on your description
3. The AI-generated locator is used as a fallback
4. Successful fallbacks are logged for future reference

Library    DomRetryLibrary
