Debug

Known issues

breakingpyATS Robot 26.x requires Python 3.8+; Python 2.7 support dropped in earlier versions.

fix

Ensure Python >=3.8 is used. Upgrade Python if on an older version.

affects: >=26.0

deprecatedThe 'pyats.robot.Robot' class's 'run' method may require explicit Robot Framework library imports in test files; implicit imports deprecated.

fix

Add 'Library  pyats.robot.libraries.*' in Robot test files explicitly.

affects: >=25.0

gotchaTestbed YAML files must be referenced correctly; pyATS Robot does not automatically load testbed from environment variable.

fix

Pass the testbed path explicitly via '--testbed-file' argument or set 'PYATS_TESTBED' environment variable.

affects: all
