Robot Framework SeleniumTestability is a library that enhances Robot Framework's SeleniumLibrary by providing additional keywords to handle asynchronous events and improve test stability for modern web applications. It helps in waiting for page readiness, Angular, jQuery, and network idle states. The current version is 2.1.0, with releases often coinciding with major SeleniumLibrary or Selenium updates.

SeleniumTestability

✓ Library SeleniumTestability

This library is loaded within Robot Framework test suites using the 'Library' keyword in .robot files, not via standard Python 'import' statements. The `Library` keyword makes the keywords available in the test suite.

This quickstart demonstrates how to include SeleniumTestability in your Robot Framework project and use its core 'Wait For Page Ready' keyword to ensure the page is fully loaded, including common asynchronous operations, before proceeding with test steps. Ensure `SeleniumLibrary` is also imported and configured.

Debug

Known issues

breakingVersion 2.0.0 introduced a breaking change requiring Selenium 4 (or greater) due to updates in Robot Framework SeleniumLibrary. If you are using an older SeleniumLibrary or Selenium 3, you must either upgrade your Selenium stack or use an older version of robotframework-seleniumtestability (<2.0.0).

fix

Upgrade your 'selenium' package to version 4+ and 'robotframework-seleniumlibrary' to a compatible version (e.g., 5.0+), or pin 'robotframework-seleniumtestability' to an earlier version like `robotframework-seleniumtestability<2.0.0`.

affects: >=2.0.0

gotchaThis library complements, but does not fully replace, the need for robust SeleniumLibrary waits. While it provides general asynchronous waits, complex or custom asynchronous operations might still require explicit 'Wait Until Element Is Visible' or 'Wait Until Element Contains' from SeleniumLibrary.

fix

Combine SeleniumTestability's broad waits (e.g., 'Wait For Page Ready') with specific SeleniumLibrary waits for unique application behaviors (e.g., 'Wait Until Element Is Enabled' or custom `Wait Until Keyword Succeeds`).

affects: all

gotchaEnsure SeleniumLibrary is imported and configured correctly *before* SeleniumTestability in your Robot Framework settings. SeleniumTestability relies on the browser context established by SeleniumLibrary.

fix

Always include `Library    SeleniumLibrary` with its necessary arguments (like `timeout`) before `Library    SeleniumTestability` in your Robot Framework settings files (`.robot`). Ensure SeleniumLibrary is properly installed and its browser initialization keywords are used.

affects: all

Dependencies

seleniumrequiredVersion 2.0.0+ of this library requires Selenium 4 or greater for compatibility with modern SeleniumLibrary versions.

robotframework-seleniumlibraryrequiredThis library extends SeleniumLibrary and is designed to be used in conjunction with it. SeleniumLibrary must be installed and configured separately to provide the underlying browser automation.
