robotframework-extendedselenium2library

0.9.2 verified Sat May 09 auth: no python deprecated

Extended Selenium2 web testing library for Robot Framework with AngularJS support. Current version 0.9.2 (last release 2019). Designed to extend Selenium2Library for Angular-specific locators and waits. Not actively maintained - no releases in over 5 years, relies on legacy Selenium2Library (not SeleniumLibrary).

pip install robotframework-extendedselenium2library

Common errors

error No keyword with name 'Open Browser' found. ↓

cause Library not imported correctly; case mismatch or library not installed.

fix

error ImportError: cannot import name 'Selenium2Library' from 'Selenium2Library' ↓

cause Conflicting versions: robotframework-selenium2library is not installed or replaced by robotframework-seleniumlibrary.

fix

error Library 'ExtendedSelenium2Library' is NOT found in Robot Framework nor as Python module. ↓

cause ExtendedSelenium2Library not installed or Python environment not activated.

fix

Run: pip install robotframework-extendedselenium2library

Warnings

deprecated Library is no longer maintained and uses legacy Selenium2Library. Migrate to SeleniumLibrary with Angular support (robotframework-seleniumlibrary-extensions or write custom keywords). ↓

fix Replace with robotframework-seleniumlibrary and implement custom Angular locators.

gotcha Library name in Robot Framework is 'ExtendedSelenium2Library' (case-sensitive). Importing with wrong case fails silently. ↓

fix Use exactly: Library ExtendedSelenium2Library

gotcha Works only with legacy Selenium2Library, not compatible with the newer SeleniumLibrary. Installing both causes conflicts. ↓

fix Do not mix with robotframework-seleniumlibrary. Uninstall one.

breaking Angular support may break with newer Angular versions. The library was built for AngularJS (1.x) not Angular (2+). ↓

fix Use AngularJS-based locators only. For Angular 2+, use different approach (e.g., Protractor or custom keywords).
