Introduction

ExtendedSelenium2Library is web testing library for Robot Framework that uses the Selenium 2 (WebDriver) libraries from the Selenium project, to control the web browser with AngularJS support.

It leverages Selenium2Library internally to provide AngularJS synchronization support, deliver keywords enhancement, and strive for a seamless migration from Selenium2Library.

ExtendedSelenium2Library runs tests in a real browser instance. It should work in most modern browsers and can be used with both Python and Jython interpreters.

More information about this library can be found in the Keyword Documentation.

Installation

Using pip

The recommended installation method is using pip:

pip install robotframework-extendedselenium2library

The main benefit of using pip is that it automatically installs all dependencies needed by the library. Other nice features are easy upgrading and support for un-installation:

pip install --upgrade robotframework-extendedselenium2library
pip uninstall robotframework-extendedselenium2library

Notice that using --upgrade above updates both the library and all its dependencies to the latest version. If you want, you can also install a specific version or upgrade only the Selenium tool used by the library:

pip install robotframework-extendedselenium2library==x.x.x
pip install --upgrade selenium
pip install selenium==x.xx

Proxy configuration

If you are behind a proxy, you can use --proxy command line option or set http_proxy and/or https_proxy environment variables to configure pip to use it. If you are behind an authenticating NTLM proxy, you may want to consider installing CNTML to handle communicating with it.

For more information about --proxy option and using pip with proxies in general see:

Manual installation

If you do not have network connection or cannot make proxy to work, you need to resort to manual installation. This requires installing both the library and its dependencies yourself.
