robotframework-okw-web-selenium 0.4.2

Selenium driver for OKW4Robot - Web GUI test automation with Chrome, Firefox and more.

OKW Web Selenium

Selenium WebDriver plugin for OKW4Robot — the driver-agnostic keyword library for Robot Framework.

This package provides WebSe_* widget implementations that translate OKW keywords (SetValue, ClickOn, VerifyValue, ...) into Selenium WebDriver calls for Chrome, Firefox, Edge and other browsers.

Deutsche Version: README_de.md

Installation

pip install robotframework-okw-web-selenium

This automatically installs robotframework-okw4robot (core) and robotframework-seleniumlibrary as dependencies.

---

Quick Start

*** Settings ***
Library    okw_web_selenium.library.OkwWebSeleniumLibrary

*** Test Cases ***
Login Test
    StartApp      MyApp
    SelectWindow  LoginDialog
    SetValue      Username         admin
    SetValue      Password         secret
    ClickOn       Login
    VerifyValue   Status           Logged in

StartApp loads the app YAML (locators/MyApp.yaml). If the YAML contains a __self__ section with the adapter class and browser parameter, the browser is opened automatically — no separate StartHost needed.

All keywords come from the core (okw4robot). This package only provides the Selenium-specific widget implementations — you never import individual keyword modules.

How It Works

OKW4Robot keyword              This package (WebSe_*)
─────────────────              ──────────────────────
SetValue "Name" "Smith"   →   WebSe_TextField.okw_set_value("Smith")
                               └→ Selenium: clear + input_text

ClickOn "Login"           →   WebSe_Button.okw_click()
                               └→ Selenium: click_element

VerifyValue "Status" "OK" →   WebSe_Label.okw_get_value()
                               └→ Selenium: get_text → polling loop

The YAML locator file determines which WebSe_* class is used for each GUI object:

# locators/MyApp.yaml
MyApp:
  LoginDialog:
    Username:
      class: okw_web_selenium.widgets.webse_textfield.WebSe_TextField
      locator: { id: user_input }
    Password:
      class: okw_web_selenium.widgets.webse_textfield.WebSe_TextField
      locator: { id: password_input }
    Login:
      class: okw_web_selenium.widgets.webse_button.WebSe_Button
      locator: { css: "button[type=submit]" }

Widget Classes

Class	HTML Elements	Key Methods
WebSe_TextField	<input>, <textarea>	set_value, type_key, get_value, delete
WebSe_Button	<button>, <input type=button>	click, double_click, get_text
WebSe_CheckBox	<input type=checkbox>	click, set_value, get_value
WebSe_ComboBox	<select>, custom dropdowns	select, get_value, get_list_count
WebSe_ListBox	<select multiple>, <ul> lists	select, get_value, get_list_count
WebSe_RadioList	<input type=radio> groups	select, get_value
WebSe_Label	<span>, <div>, <p>, <label>	get_value, get_text
WebSe_Link	<a>	click, get_text
WebSe_Table	<table>	get_cell_value, get_row_count, get_headers
WebSe_MultilineField	<textarea>, contenteditable	set_value, type_key, get_value

All widget classes inherit click, move_over, get_tooltip, get_label, get_attribute, get_placeholder from WebSe_Base. | BrowserControl | Browser host | start, stop, select_window | | UrlBar | Address bar | set_value (navigate to URL) |
