Robot Framework Selenium2Library is a web testing library for Robot Framework, leveraging Selenium WebDriver internally. As of version 3.0.0, this project serves as a transitional wrapper for the `robotframework-seleniumlibrary` and is the final release. New development and maintenance have fully shifted to `robotframework-seleniumlibrary`.

Selenium2Library

✓ *** Settings *** Library Selenium2Library

✗ from robotframework_selenium2library import Selenium2Library

Keywords are accessed directly within Robot Framework test cases after importing the library. Attempting a Python-style import will fail as this is a Robot Framework library, not a direct Python module for user import. Since version 3.0, it's recommended to use 'Library SeleniumLibrary' directly.

This Robot Framework example demonstrates a basic web test using `Selenium2Library` to open a browser, navigate to Google, perform a search, and verify the title. Note that from version 3.0, `Selenium2Library` transparently uses `SeleniumLibrary`'s keywords, so the keywords are the same.

*** Settings *** Library Selenium2Library *** Test Cases *** Example Google Search Open Browser https://www.google.com chrome Title Should Be Google Input Text name=q Robot Framework Selenium2Library Click Button name=btnK Title Should Contain Robot Framework Selenium2Library - Google Search Close Browser

Known issues

breakingAs of version 3.0.0, Selenium2Library has been renamed to SeleniumLibrary and this project is a thin wrapper. It's the last release, and users are strongly advised to migrate to `robotframework-seleniumlibrary` for future development.

fix

Update your `*** Settings ***` section from `Library    Selenium2Library` to `Library    SeleniumLibrary`. Ensure `robotframework-seleniumlibrary` is installed (installing `robotframework-selenium2library==3.0.0` will also install it).

affects: >=3.0.0

deprecatedThe `robotframework-selenium2library` project is no longer actively developed or maintained beyond version 3.0.0. All future enhancements, bug fixes, and compatibility updates will occur in `robotframework-seleniumlibrary`.

fix

Transition your tests and installations to `robotframework-seleniumlibrary`. While `Selenium2Library` 3.0.0 provides compatibility, direct use of `SeleniumLibrary` is the path forward.

affects: >=3.0.0

gotchaPrior to version 3.0.0, Selenium2Library had known compatibility issues with newer browser versions (e.g., Firefox 47.0), often requiring specific Selenium versions or browser driver configurations (like `geckodriver`). Version 3.0.0 and `SeleniumLibrary` generally have better compatibility with modern Selenium and browsers.

fix

Upgrade to `robotframework-selenium2library` 3.0.0 or, preferably, `robotframework-seleniumlibrary` to benefit from updated Selenium WebDriver support and broader browser compatibility. Ensure you have the correct browser drivers installed and in your system PATH.

affects: <3.0.0
