Robot Plugin

This optional plugin enables Avocado to work with tests originally written using the Robot Framework API.

To install the Robot plugin from pip, use:

$ sudo pip install avocado-framework-plugin-robot

After installed, you can list/run Robot tests the same way you do with other types of tests.

For example, use the test included in the avocado code

$ git clone https://github.com/avocado-framework/avocado.git

To list the tests, execute:

$ avocado list avocado/optional_plugins/robot/tests/avocado.robot
robot $HOME/avocado/optional_plugins/robot/tests/avocado.robot:Avocado.NoSleep
robot $HOME/avocado/optional_plugins/robot/tests/avocado.robot:Avocado.Sleep

Directories are also accepted. To run the tests, execute:

$ avocado run avocado/optional_plugins/robot/tests/avocado.robot
