Robotframework import own Python library

Question

I want to create a Python library and then import it to robotframework. My Python library structure is:

autotestlibrary
|_ testkeywordlibrary
  |_ logintest.py
  |_ homepagetest.py
|_ testobject
  |_ loginpage.py
  |_ homepage.py

I have created init file into each folder. But when I import autotestlibray into robotframework it can't find my library.

Is autotestlibrary directory in one of the directories specified in PYTHONPATH environment variable? — zvone

yes, autotestlibrary is under folder c:\workspace, i add path c:\worksapce in PYTHONPATH — Vivien

Interesting. What is the exception you get when you import autotestlibrary? — zvone

I think @zvone ment for you to run Python interactively and try the import. You would probably get similar errors from Tools>RIDE Log output. (the Library will fail to import and show in red color if there are Python errors in it) — Helio

Give the absolute path like:

Library    /absolute/path/Library.py

If autotestlibrary is in PYTHONPATH environment variable then use

Library    autotestlibrary.xyz

where xyz can be:

I suggest you to always import the child most library, all the parent libraries will be imported automatically.

If your library is a class then the filename needs to be exactly as the class name.

So if you have a class inside of logintest.py which is called Logintest then your file needs to be renamed to Logintest.py
