Robot Framework Skill
When to Use
Use this skill when you need generates Robot Framework tests in keyword-driven syntax with Python. Supports SeleniumLibrary, RequestsLibrary, and custom keywords. Use when user mentions "Robot Framework", "*** Test Cases ", "SeleniumLibrary", ".robot file". Triggers on: "Robot Framework", " Test Cases ***",...

Core Patterns
Basic Test (tests/login.robot)
*** Settings ***
Library SeleniumLibrary
Suite Setup Open Browser ${BASE_URL} chrome
Suite Teardown Close All Browsers
*** Variables ***
${BASE_URL} http://localhost:3000
${EMAIL} user@test.com
${PASSWORD} password123
*** Test Cases ***
Login With Valid Credentials
Go To ${BASE_URL}/login
Wait Until Element Is Visible id:email 10s
Input Text id:email ${EMAIL}
Input Text id:password ${PASSWORD}
Click Button css:button[type='submit']
Wait Until Element Is Visible css:.dashboard 10s
Page Should Contain Welcome
Location Should Contain /dashboard
Login With Invalid Credentials Shows Error
Go To ${BASE_URL}/login
Input Text id:email wrong@test.com
Input Text id:password wrong
Click Button css:button[type='submit']
Wait Until Element Is Visible css:.error 5s
Element Should Contain css:.error Invalid credentials
Custom Keywords
*** Keywords ***
Login As User
[Arguments] ${email} ${password}
Go To ${BASE_URL}/login
Input Text id:email ${email}
Input Text id:password ${password}
Click Button css:button[type='submit']
Verify Dashboard Is Displayed
Wait Until Element Is Visible css:.dashboard 10s
Page Should Contain Welcome
*** Test Cases ***
Valid Login Flow
Login As User user@test.com password123
Verify Dashboard Is Displayed
Data-Driven Tests (Template)
*** Test Cases ***
Login With Various Users
[Template] Login And Verify
admin@test.com admin123 Dashboard
user@test.com pass123 Dashboard
bad@test.com wrong Error
*** Keywords ***
Login And Verify
[Arguments] ${email} ${password} ${expected}
Login As User ${email} ${password}
Page Should Contain ${expected}
API Testing (RequestsLibrary)
*** Settings ***
Library RequestsLibrary
*** Test Cases ***
Get Users Returns 200
${response}= GET ${API_URL}/users expected_status=200
Should Not Be Empty ${response.json()['users']}
Create User
${body}= Create Dictionary name=Alice email=alice@test.com
${response}= POST ${API_URL}/users json=${body} expected_status=201
Should Be Equal ${response.json()['name']} Alice
Cloud Config
*** Settings ***
Library SeleniumLibrary
*** Variables ***
${REMOTE_URL} https://%{LT_USERNAME}:%{LT_ACCESS_KEY}@hub.lambdatest.com/wd/hub
*** Keywords ***
Open Cloud Browser
${caps}= Create Dictionary
... browserName=chrome browserVersion=latest
... LT:Options=${{{"build":"Robot Build","name":"Login Test","platform":"Windows 11","video":True}}}
Open Browser ${BASE_URL} remote_url=${REMOTE_URL} desired_capabilities=${caps}
Setup: pip install robotframework robotframework-seleniumlibrary robotframework-requests
Run: robot tests/ or robot --include smoke tests/
Report: report.html and log.html auto-generated

Limitations
- Use this skill only when the task clearly matches its upstream source and local project context.
- Verify commands, generated code, dependencies, credentials, and external service behavior before applying changes.
- Do not treat examples as a substitute for environment-specific tests, security review, or user approval for destructive or costly actions.
