Robot Framework and Our Ecosystem Robot Framework 7.1.1 Released 🔧
Robot Framework 7.1.1 has been released, fixing all reported regressions and other issues. Check out the full list of fixes in the release notes.
View release notes here.
New Keyword Library: robotframework-construct
Handling binary data in Robot Framework has just gotten easier with the release of the new robotframework-construct library. This tool simplifies complex use cases like:
- Register map access and visualization
- I2C/SPI/UART/CAN communication
- Binary network protocol, file format, and memory object handling
Leveraging the construct library, this project helps generate a production-ready parser/generator. Plus, with Kaitai, you can generate parser code in 11 programming languages. The project is still in its early stages, so we encourage feedback and suggestions.
Check it out on GitHub.
Robot Framework Browser v18.9.1 Released 🛠️
The latest version of the Browser library (v18.9.1) is out! It includes new features such as the Wait For Alerts keyword and improvements to Highlight Elements. Python 3.8 support has been discontinued.
View release notes here.
RF Logs Beta is Live 🚀
RF Logs, a new tool for analyzing Robot Framework test results, is now in beta. Upload and view test results from GitHub Actions and other CI/CD tools with ease. Try it with a free 30-day workspace trial.
