Websocket testing library for Robot Framework

Introduction

WebSocketClient is Robot Framework test library that uses the websocket-client module.

Example

Here's a quick example of WebSocketClient usage:

*** Settings ***
Library    WebSocketClient

*** Test Cases ***
Echo
    ${my_websocket}=    WebSocketClient.Connect    ws://echo.websocket.org
    WebSocketClient.Send    ${my_websocket}    Hello
    ${result}=    WebSocketClient.Recv    ${my_websocket}
    Should Be Equal    Hello    ${result}
    WebSocketClient.Close    ${my_websocket}

Installation

Using pip

The recommended installation method is using pip:

pip install robotframework-websocketclient

The main benefit of using pip is that it automatically installs all dependencies needed by the library. Other nice features are easy upgrading and support for un-installation:

pip install --upgrade robotframework-websocketclient
pip uninstall robotframework-websocketclient

Notice that using --upgrade above updates both the library and all its dependencies to the latest version. If you want, you can also install a specific version:

pip install robotframework-websocketclient==x.x.x

Usage

To write tests with Robot Framework and WebSocketClient, WebSocketClient must be imported into your Robot test suite:

*** Settings ***
Library    WebSocketClient

See Robot Framework User Guide for more information.

More information about Robot Framework standard libraries and built-in tools can be found in the Robot Framework Documentation.
