Robot Framework VS SeleniumBase

Well, I work with software quality and despite not having a strong foundation in automation, one fine day I decided to make a change. I have been working with Robot Framework for a few months - and that's when I got a taste of the power of python. Some time later, I dabbled a little with Cypress and Playwright, always using javascript.

Robot Framework

I've used Lua/Busted in a data-heavy environment (telemetry from hospital ventilators). I've also used robot: https://robotframework.org/

I can't say whether any of these will work, but maybe one of: PyAutoGui pytest-qt Robot Framework + plugins

I'm looking for tools, strategies, libraries, etc. that would be useful for automating arbitrary desktop applications. Ideally something free and open source. Robot Framework (https://robotframework.org/) looks promising, although the docs seem deliberately unclear about how useable the open source libraries are without the cloud SaaS being sold on top.

Does anyone have experience in this area? What's your secret sauce for robust desktop automations?

In the industry I've seen the framework "Robot framework" https://robotframework.org/ used a lot for test automation.

Check out Robot Framework @ https://robotframework.org/

Greetings! They say all good things must come to an end, and with this post, so it is with my series of posts covering Robot Framework.

And for Python browser automation, see the SeleniumBase GitHub page!

I recommend you to check out Seleniumbase, its a frame work for Selenium. Link: https://github.com/seleniumbase/SeleniumBase

plain pytest, or maybe https://seleniumbase.io ?

In those cases you might want to check out SeleniumBase: https://seleniumbase.io/

If you're looking for a complete Python Selenium solution for solving the Wordle Game programmatically, here's one that uses the SeleniumBase framework. The solution comes with a YouTube video, as well as the Python code of the solution, and a GIF of what to expect:

i haven't. it's the first time i heard about it actually. on our project, it's selenium with seleniumbase

This format is used by most of the examples in the SeleniumBase examples folder. It's a great starting point for anyone learning SeleniumBase, and it follows good object-oriented programming principles. In this format, BaseCase is imported at the top of a Python file, followed by a Python class inheriting BaseCase. Then, any test method defined in that class automatically gains access to SeleniumBase methods, including the setUp() and tearDown() methods that are automatically called to spin up and spin down web browsers at the beginning and end of test methods. Here's an example of that:
