Robot Framework IDE 2.1.4.1
Please see the complete release notes here.
Below is an excerpt of it:
RIDE (Robot Framework IDE) v2.1.4.1 is a new release with some enhancements and bug fixes. The reference for valid arguments is Robot Framework current version, 7.3.1. However, internal library code is originally based on version 3.1.2, but adapted for new versions.
This version supports Python 3.8 up to 3.13 (and also tested on 3.14.b2 with wxPython 4.2.3).
There are some changes, or known issues:
- Rename Keywords, Find Usages/Find where used are not
finding all occurrences. Please, double-check findings and
changes.- - Some argument types detection (and colorization) is not
correct in Grid Editor. - - RIDE DOES NOT KEEP Test Suites formatting or
structure, causing differences in files when used on other IDE
or Editors. The option to not reformat the file is not working. - - In Grid Editor, when showing settings, scrolling down with
mouse or using down is not working. You can change to Text
Editor and back to Grid Editor, to restore normal behavior.
New Features and Fixes Highlights
- Fix broken installation of RIDE v2.1.4 by adding missing dependencies.
- Added Tools->Library Finder… to install libraries and
Help->Open Library Documentation… . They share the same
dialog, and definitions are recorded in `settings.cfg`. - Added context menu to install libraries and to open documentation
in Grid Editor Import section. Same as above description. - Added keyboard shortcuts Ctrl-Shift-Up and Ctrl-Shift-Down
as alternatives to Alt-Up and Alt-Down to move rows in
Grid and Text Editors. - Improved vertical scroll in Grid Editor, by having main scroll
bars out of cells. - Fixed Create Desktop Shortcut by pointing executable to python
-m robotide. - Changed arguments parser to allow –version and –help
functional in Windows. - Improved auto-complete in Grid Editor, to allow several matches.
- Fixed white blocks on Tree due to failed animation when test
execution is too rapid, causing crash on Windows. - Added Settings Editor button to Preferences dialog, to edit
settings.cfg. - Created backup of settings.cfg to allow recovering some settings
when broken upgrades. - Changed some informative dialogs and JSON Editor to use the
customized colors. - Added current executing keyword and other statuses to TestRunner
status bar. - Modified import statements to allow running RIDE without Robot
Framework installed or versions older than 6.0. - Added Config Panel button to supported installed Plugins next to
their name in Plugin Manager dialog. - Added Config Panel button to Plugins, working examples in Text
Editor and Test Runner. - On Windows ignore false modification on files when opening Test
Suites, causing confirmation dialog. - Added divided Status Bar. Left side for main window, right side
for Plugins. Working example in Text Editor, when selecting in
Tree shows the filename in StatusBar.
