This project consists of a Docker image containing a Robot Framework installation.
This installation also contains Firefox, Chrome and the Selenium library for Robot Framework. The test cases and reports should be mounted as volumes.
The versioning of this image follows the one of Robot Framework:
- Major and minor versions match the ones of Robot Framework
- Patch version is specific to this project (allows to update the versions of the other dependencies)
The versions used in the latest version are:
- Robot Framework 3.0.2
- Robot Framework selenium2library 1.8.0
- Firefox 56.0
- Chromium 61.0
This container can be run using the following command:
docker run -v <local path to the reports' folder>:/opt/robotframework/reports:Z\
-v <local path to the test suites' folder>:/opt/robotframework/tests:Z\
ppodgorsek/robot-framework:<version>
Browsers can be easily switched. It is recommended to define ${BROWSER} %{BROWSER} in your Robot variables and to use ${BROWSER} in your test cases. This allows to set the browser in a single place if needed.
When running your tests, simply add -e BROWSER=chrome or -e BROWSER=firefox to the run command.
