AutoItLibrary

Latest Version

Changelog:

Added Python 3 support

Introduction

AutoItLibrary is a Python keyword library that extends Robot Framework by providing keywords based on the COM interface to AutoIt. AutoIt is a freeware tool for automating the Windows GUI.

In order to do screenshots, the AutoItLibrary uses the PIL (Python Image Library).

Installation

Make sure you run the installation command with administrative privilages.

pip install

pip install robotframework-autoitlibrary

source install

AutoItLibrary installs its own file and, if not already present, the 3rd party AutoIt and PIL tools. To install, unzip the release file into a temporary directory on your PC, open a command window in that directory and type:

python setup.py install

This installation creates the folder:

C:\RobotFramework\Extensions\AutoItLibrary

on your PC and puts various files into this directory folder.

Documentation

AutoItLibrary documentation is installed by the installation process into:

C:\RobotFramework\Extensions\AutoItLibrary\AutoItLibrary.html

The AutoItX documentation is also installed into this folder as AutoItX.chm.

Tests

The AutoItLibrary installer puts a suite of self-tests here:

C:\RobotFramework\Extensions\AutoItLibrary\tests

To run these tests, which exercise the Windows Calculator GUI, run the RunTests.bat file in the above folder.

Note: Windows 10 Calculator is not supported.
