Package: robotframework-seleniumtestability
robotframework-seleniumtestabilitySeleniumTestability is a plugin to Robot Framework's SeleniumLibrary that adds
functionality to it doesn't fit into its mission. These new features are archived
by SL's plugin api that then automatically instrumentents the web application via
javascript calls and provides  keywords to bridge those into Robot Framework.Plugin provides automatic detection of asyncronous events happening within
the web application. For example, if a rest api is called from the application,
testcase can automatically wait for that call to finish before doing any
interaction in the UI. There's also a bunch of functionality like fetching of
browser logs,  keywords to interact with local and session storage.  See the
keyword documentationherefor more details.SeleniumTestability relies on core Selenium's feature EventFiringWebdriver
and provides it's own listener interface that takes care of waiting in right
places and instrumenting the SUT whenever it is needed.In the future, its also possible to extend the javascript parts of
SeleniumTestability to incorporate more state inspections.Monitoring of the asyncronous events is archived with help ofTestability.jsand itsbindingsSupport"Official" support channel available inGitter.imInstallationpip install robotframework-seleniumtestabilityUsageInitialize libraryLibrary         SeleniumLibrary     plugins=SeleniumTestability;True;30 Seconds;TrueFor parameter descriptions, refer to keyword docmentation.ExampleClick Elementid:button_that_triggers_ajax_requestClick Elementid:some_other_elementLog To ConsoleThis will happen right after clickingIn here, if automatic_wait has been enabled, secondClick Elementkeyword wont
be executed before action triggered by the first button is finished.If automatic_wait is not enabled, test case can request the wait itself and previous
example would look something like this.Click Element               id:button_that_triggers_ajax_request
  Wait For Testability Ready
  Click Element               id:some_other_element

In the past
certain browsers did not implement these features as "the standard" would require.Other functionality.SeleniumTestability also provides other conveniance keywords that do not make sense to incorporate into
SeleniumLibrary itself, mainly due to functionality not being in scope of SeleniumLibrary and Selenium
python bindings.
