After completing a keyword with ctrl-space, or requesting information with ctrl-shift-space, there is an information box shown. This information box should display the arguments that the keyword accepts (if any).

Similarly after completing a variable, it could show the value of the variable.

Is possible change the format file for folder "robot-indicies" , for xml? And Could use for create this files : java -jar robotframework-2.7.5.jar libdoc Collections Collections.xml

In the xml exist all information, for complete the popup.

This is definately one possibility. Perhaps it would even be possible to run the utility automatically.

ghost commented 11 years ago

Remember that now you can run: java -jar robotframework-2.7.5.jar libdoc Collections list to obtain the list.

This could go in the wiki now for create the files.

+1 for this. Since libdoc can output XML for all the libraries, it seems an easy source for content assist info (and validation!). I believe this is what RIDE uses for its library parameter info content assist, and since RIDE has become so Mac-unfriendly, I'd love to see this in RF-EclipseIDE.

omireault commented 10 years ago

I can confirm that this would be great. RIDE is really not a good solution for MAC.

As a side note, the libdoc can also be executed with Python instead of Java, see http://robotframework.org/robotframework/latest/RobotFrameworkUserGuide.html#general-usage
