Common errors

error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'genie_libs' ↓

cause Missing package or wrong installed name; `genie-libs-robot` not imported directly.

fix

Install genie-libs-robot via pip, then import as from genie_libs.robot import ....

error ImportError: cannot import name 'GenieRobot' from 'genie_libs.robot' ↓

cause Symbol not found; might be wrong version or name typo.

fix

Ensure you have version 26.3 or later; check available exports via dir(genie_libs.robot).

error AttributeError: 'GenieRobot' object has no attribute 'testbed' ↓

cause Testbed not set before use.

fix

Assign a testbed: robot.testbed = testbed.load('path.yaml').

Warnings

gotcha The package import path uses underscores: `genie_libs.robot` not `genie-libs-robot` or `genielibs`. ↓

fix Use `from genie_libs.robot import ...`.

gotcha GenieRobot expects a testbed object; missing testbed leads to confusing attribute errors. ↓

fix Always assign a testbed to robot.testbed before calling connect.

deprecated Older versions used `from genie.libs.robot` (with dots); changed to underscores in recent releases. ↓

fix Update import to `from genie_libs.robot import ...`.
