Is it possible to use SwingLibrary without RobotFramework? #145

Closed ssanmaru closed 3 years ago

ssanmaru commented 3 years ago

Hello there, Is it possible to use this SwingLibrary project to automate any Swing based apps without using Robot framework?

Please advise

Thanks, San

SwingLibrary can be used only together with RobotFramework. What is exactly that you want to accomplish?

I want to use SwingLibrary as a standalone automated tool to write automated test scripts for Swing based apps. SwingLibrary is a great tool but was wondering, if it is possible to decouple the Robot framework and use it as a standalone tool.

Also, I tried with Jemmy-v2, was not clear how to include the depedent jars while starting up the application. I have posted a question on Stackoverflow here but no luck so far. Thanks, San

SwingLibrary also uses Jemmy internally to automate Java Swing applications, but is a test library written specifically for Robot Framework and it won't work independently of it. If you don't want to use Jython for your acceptance tests you can give remoteswinglibrary a try. It provides a wrapper on top of SwingLibrary that will work with Python, but you still need to to have Robot Framework installed.

Try to post your SwingLibrary related questions in the Slack channel dedicated to SwingLibrary or forum section. I will close the issue as it is neither bug or feature request in the library itself.
