Hi all,

I like the robotframework, & selenium library, but i cannot test with the web using Silverlight .

I see there is a Silverlight-Selenium.jar but I don't know how to apply it for RobotframeworkIDE (RIDE).

Please help me with this issue.

Thanks Minh

Adding support for Silverlight apps would be nice. The first step into that direction would be investigating how to test Silverlight apps with Selenium alone. If you want something to happen to this, I recommend you to look at that yourself.

I see the Telerik WebUI can spy object on WEB SILVERLIGHT, using XAML tag.

Robotframework selenium can do with XAML ? or something to spy object ?

In my opinion the best framework to test silverlight applications at the moment is White (http://white.codeplex.com/). The question is how this could be integrated with Robot. I tried to get this sorted out, but failed so far:

Silverlight-Selenium.jar from https://code.google.com/p/silverlight-selenium looks like good project, but doesn't seem to fit into integration with SeleniumLibrary because one is Python and the other is .NET. Only way to make it fit for RF is via running RF and library via IronPython. This would require merging Silverlight-Selenium codebase with SeleniumLibrary where it makes sense. But then it may not fit licensing as both use different open source licenses.

As Andreas mentions, a new test library like a WhiteLibrary is best.

Selenium RC has been deprecated and developing this library is thus ending. Selenium 2 (a.k.a. WebDriver) and Selenium2Library are the way forward. If you feel this issue is important, consider submitting it to the issue tracer of Selenenium2Library project.
