Zoomba is a collection of libraries spanning UI, REST API, and SOAP API automation using Robot Framework. These libraries are extensions of existing libraries SeleniumLibrary, Requests, SudsLibrary, and AppiumLibrary.
Zoomba adds a significant amount of data validation support for REST and SOAP APIs, extends functionality for typical Web GUI automation, and extends AppiumLibrary functionality to support Windows desktop automation.
As a team beginning the journey of automation with Robot Framework - we found that there was some time spent ramping up our libraries and Zoomba aims to make that process easier for new projects.
See the Keyword Documentation for the API, SOAP, GUI, or Desktop library for more specific information about the functionality.
The Zoomba library is easily installed using the setup.py file in the home directory.
Simply run the following command to install Zoomba and it's dependencies:
pip install robotframework-zoombaIf you decide to pull the repo locally to make contributions or just want to play around with the code you can install Zoomba by running the following from the root directory:
pip install .If you plan to run Windows desktop automation you will need to have a running appium server. To do so first have Node installed and then run the following:
npm install -g appium
appiumAlternatively Appium Desktop can be used.
Additionally if you run the following command new documentation will be generated on each commit :
git config core.hooksPath .githooksExample tests can be found in the test directory.
