robotframework-qconnect-winapp 1.1.0

Extension for Robot Framework QConnectBase library to test Winapp GUIs

QConnectWinapp is an extension for the Robot Framework keyword library QConnectBase and designed to simplify and automate Windows application GUI testing. QConnectWinapp is built to provide seamless and efficient GUI testing experiences for Windows applications.

Prerequisites

To use QConnectWinapp, the following applications must be installed before:

• WinAppDriver (version >= 1.2.1)

• Windows SDK

How to install

The QConnectWinapp can be installed in two different ways.

1. Installation via PyPi (recommended for users)

   pip install robotframework-qconnect-winapp

   QConnectWinapp in PyPi

2. Installation via GitHub (recommended for developers)

   • Clone the robotframework-qconnect-winapp repository to your machine.

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

     QConnectWinapp in GitHub

   • Use the following command to install QConnectWinapp (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 QConnectWinapp 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 QConnectWinapp.

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

        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 QConnectWinapp (executed in repository main folder):

     python -m build .

     Or:

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