Target is get official Robot Framework image to docker hub https://hub.docker.com/explore/ . Contributing of this project should follow guidlines that are defined in here https://github.com/docker-library/official-images
Benefits of Robot Framework container
- Easy installation just docker run -P -d robot_framework
- Container include: a) IDE and execution tools b) Libraryes => No any more version conflicts between development/testing pipeline
- Easy to scale multible instances by using docker micro servers => Papot library https://github.com/mkorpela/pabot change sequentally test cases execution to parallel execution that brings many huge benefits to picture (e.g. poor man performance testing and speed up of testing pipelines)
- Get test automation container integrated to Jenkins by using dynamicly way with https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Docker+Plugin
Container deloploy time usage:
Define user to SSH connection: -e SSHUSER=< username >
Basic auth: Define user password to SSHUSER: -e SSHUSERPW=< password >
OR Key based auth: Define user public key to SSHUSER: -e SSHUSERKEY="ssh-rsa < public key >"
Add more libraryes to container:
- Base your docker file to robot framework container FROM robotframework
- Add required libraryes to your docker file by using any method what you want (e.g. pip, easyinstall, apt-get, etc.)
- Define your docker file entrypoint as ENTRYPOINT ["/rfw_df_entrypoint.sh"]
