Robot Framework Browser

What Robot Framework Browser is

Robot Framework Browser is a free, open-source web testing library for Robot Framework, powered by Playwright. A single Node process drives Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit. Its keywords wait for elements to become actionable before taking action, while getters can retry expected-value checks until a timeout. Selectors can be chained across iframe and shadow DOM boundaries. When a test fails, the library can attach a screenshot, Playwright trace, and video to the Robot Framework log. It also supports HTTP requests and responsive web testing with viewport settings and device emulation. That emulation does not reproduce some real-device experiences, including iOS Safari builds and on-screen keyboards. Python plugins can add or replace keywords and use the library API and Node side; a plugin keyword matching a built-in keyword can silently replace it because plugins load last. The `[bb]` install extra includes Node, and `rfbrowser install` downloads Playwright browser binaries. For questions and reports, the project points users to Slack, the Robot Framework forum, and GitHub issues and discussions.
